To graph: The time-versus-amplitude waveform for point A in the given circuit taking in assumption the given input-waveform.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The input waveform is sinusoidal.During the negative half cycle, the diode is reverse-biased, so there is no current in the circuit and no voltage across point A. for the positive half-cycle the diode is forward biased, current flows in the circuit and produces a voltage across the load and point A.
Only positive half-cycle appears across the point A, the time-versus-amplitude graph would should only the positive half-cycle.
Conclusion:
The graph obtained represents a half-wave rectifier.
