VIII. QUESTIONS

1. Compute Vo mathematically and plot the output for VDC =5? Compare the theoretical
values with your practical results.

2. What will affect the 5V DC source if it is connected in reverse explain the operation of the
circuit in that case and draw the output wave shape.

Output

3. Discuss how lowering of on the clamper circuit affects the output. LR

4. Does the input wave shape of the clamper affect the value of DC shift on the output wave?
