20. A biased clamper is connected to a rectangular AC input with 20V on the positive half cycle and -10V on the negative half cycle. The orientation of the Si diode is the same with Vo while the 5V biasing voltage is in opposite connection. The value of R is 100K ohms while the capacitor is 1 microFarad.
