Two V input and output

In summary, the problem asks us to sketch the output voltage (V(out)) of a circuit with an alternating input sinusoidal voltage and a Zener diode with V(z) being about half of V(in). We can connect the two V(in) and V(out) terminals together since they are providing and measuring the same signals, respectively. The instruction to assume no load across V(out) terminals means that we are looking at the circuit's behavior without any external factors.

Homework Statement



If an alternating input sinusoidal voltage is applied to the circuit shown, and if the Zener V(z) is about half of V(in), sketch what V(out) will look like. Explain briefly the operation in one half the output cycle.

Homework Equations


afaik equation isn't used, but the problem is solved in "plug it in and try" method


The Attempt at a Solution


I haven't attempted, I don't know where to start.

I have two questions to get me started though.
1. what do I do if there are two V(in) (stands for Voltage input)
and two V(out)?
Can I simply connect those two V(in) together and V(out) together?
2. What does it mean when it said (Assume no load across V(out) terminals)?

1. In this circuit, there are two V(in) sources because it is an alternating input, meaning the voltage alternates between positive and negative values. In this case, you can connect the two V(in) sources together since they are both providing the same input signal to the circuit. The two V(out) terminals can also be connected together since they are both measuring the output voltage of the circuit.

2. When it says "assume no load across V(out) terminals," it means that there is no external resistance or component connected to the output terminals. This is important to note because the presence of a load can affect the output voltage of the circuit. In this case, we are focusing on the behavior of the circuit without any external factors.
