hi... i am studying the use of zener diode as clipper.. i saw the following image in wikipedia....
when the input is positive, it is okay..
my doubt is that when the input is negative , won't the zener be forward biased giving rise to only -0.7v in the output , like the following image ??
please help as soon as possible.. i have a test tomorrow.. thanks in advance
