The diode is forward biased when Vi>5VV_i > 5V.

Given:

10sin(100πt)>510\sin(100\pi t)>5

sin(100πt)>0.5\sin(100\pi t)>0.5

The conduction angle is from 3030^\circ to 150150^\circ.

Conduction angle:

15030=120150^\circ-30^\circ=120^\circ

Fraction of one cycle:

120360=13\frac{120}{360}=\frac{1}{3}

Input frequency:

100π=2πf100\pi=2\pi f

f=50Hzf=50Hz

Time period:

T=150=20msT=\frac{1}{50}=20ms

Diode forward bias duration:

13×20=6.67ms\frac{1}{3}\times20=6.67ms
