When an anode of the diode is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, it is forward biased. In forward biased, the diode is replaced by short-circuited.
When an anode of the diode is connected to the negative terminal of the battery, it is reverse biased. In reverse biased, the diode is replaced by open-circuited.
Case 1: For a positive half-cycle
Diode ON
The output voltage (Vo) is:
Vo = 0 V
Case 2: For a negative half-cycle
Diode OFF
The output voltage (Vo) is:
Vo = Vi
The circuit clips the positive half of the input and the diode is connected in parallel to the load, therefore the circuit is said to be Shunt positive clipper.
