2. The circuit shown in Figure B2 uses a silicon diode. (a) Calculate the peak currents $I,I_L$ and $I_D$ during the negative half-cycle of the supply voltage. (b) Sketch the voltage waveform $v_{\text{out }}$ across the load resistor, ${\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{L}}$. Indicate the minimum and maximum values.
