To solve the electronics problem from the provided image, let's analyze the circuit:

### Components of the circuit:
1. **Input signal** \( v_i(t) \): A sinusoidal wave oscillating between \( +10V \) and \( -10V \).
2. **Resistor \( R_1 \)**: 1 kΩ resistor connected in series with the diode.
3. **Diode \( Si \)**: A silicon diode that allows current to pass only when forward biased.
4. **Resistor \( R_2 \)**: 1 kΩ resistor connected in parallel to the diode.

### Steps to solve:
#### 1. **Analyze the Diode Behavior**
- For a **silicon diode**, the forward voltage drop is approximately **0.7V** when forward biased.
- When the input voltage \( v_i(t) \) is positive and exceeds 0.7V, the diode will be forward biased and current will flow through it.
- When \( v_i(t) \) is negative, the diode will be reverse biased, preventing current flow through the diode.

#### 2. **Determine \( v_o(t) \) (Output Voltage)**
- **Forward bias ( \( v_i(t) > 0.7V \) ):** The diode conducts, and the output voltage \( v_o(t) \) will be approximately the forward voltage drop across the diode, which is 0.7V.
- **Reverse bias ( \( v_i(t) < 0V \) ):** The diode does not conduct, and the output voltage will be zero because the voltage drop across the parallel resistor will be zero.

Therefore, the output waveform \( v_o(t) \) will be a **clipped version of the input signal**, where any voltage greater than 0.7V is clipped to 0.7V and negative voltages are clipped to 0V.

#### 3. **Determine the Current \( i_R(t) \) through Resistor \( R_1 \)**
- The current \( i_R(t) \) through the series resistor \( R_1 \) can be determined by Ohm's Law.
- For **positive half-cycles** of \( v_i(t) \):
  \[
  i_R(t) = \frac{v_i(t) - 0.7V}{R_1}
  \]
  This holds for \( v_i(t) > 0.7V \), where the diode conducts.
  
- For **negative half-cycles** of \( v_i(t) \), the diode is reverse biased, and no current flows through \( R_1 \), so \( i_R(t) = 0 \).

### Final Sketch:
1. **Output Voltage \( v_o(t) \)**:
   - For \( v_i(t) > 0.7V \), \( v_o(t) \approx 0.7V \).
   - For \( v_i(t) < 0V \), \( v_o(t) = 0V \).
   This creates a **clipped waveform** at 0.7V and 0V.

2. **Resistor Current \( i_R(t) \)**:
   - Follows Ohm's law for \( v_i(t) > 0.7V \).
   - Zero for \( v_i(t) < 0V \).

Let me know if you'd like further details or the graphical representation of these waveforms.

### Related Questions:
1. What is the role of the silicon diode in clipping the waveform?
2. How would the circuit behave if the input signal had a higher amplitude?
3. What would happen if the diode were reversed in the circuit?
4. How does the resistor \( R_1 \) influence the current \( i_R(t) \)?
5. What would change in the output waveform if a different type of diode (e.g., Zener diode) were used?

### Tip:
When working with diodes, always remember the forward voltage drop (typically 0.7V for silicon diodes), which affects the voltage levels where clipping occurs.
