Homework Statement


We have the circuit in the figure.I have to find the output graphically if the input is Vi=15sinwt.

Homework Equations


This type of exercise doesn't have any equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Heres the circuit

For Vi<= -10 the diode is ON and Vo=10
10<=Vi we have that the diode is OFF and Vi=Vo

My solution is this one : http://i.imgur.com/ZMUB66j.jpg
Is it correct ? How can I find the output numerically in exercises like this?

Which part of the sketch represents your solution? Can you describe the behavior (in words) of the diode and cell? When will it conduct?
