 Explain working of positive series clipper with the help of diagram and waveform 

Ans. 

                                       

Positive half cycle 

When positive half cycle , apply at the input ( I/P ) terminal of the circuit , the diode in this circuit act as or we can say that , it behave like a open switch .

         And i.e. therefore , it does not allow or we can say that in other words , it not permit to flow of electric current through the load resistance ( RL ) .

         So , because of that , waveform of this operation region , When we give input signal sinusoidal wave , it clips or we can say that in other words that , it cut and remove the positive half signal waveform .

Negative half cycle

When negative half cycle , apply at the input ( I/P ) terminal of the circuit , the diode in this circuit act as or we can say that in other words that , it behave like as a close switch .

        And i.e. therefore , it allow or we can say that in other words that , it give permit to flow of electric current through the load resistance ( RL ) .

           So , because of that , waveform of this operation region , when we give input signal sinusoidal wave , it not clips or we can say that in other words that , it not cut and remove the negative  half signal waveform .
