Concept:

This circuit is a positive clipper circuit. It clips the positive peak of the output voltage

When Vi < VR

The diode is OFF and Vi = V0

When Vi > VR

The diode is ON and V0 = VR

The positive peak of output voltage = VR

The negative peak of output voltage = Vi

Calculation:

The given circuit is a positive clipper.

The positive peak of output voltage = 10 V

The negative peak of output voltage = -50 V
