Multiple choice

Directions: Carry One Mark Each.

If the circuit shown has to function as a clamping circuit, which one of the following conditions should be satisfied for sinusoidal signal of period T?

  1. RC << T

  2. RC = 0.35 T
  3. RC $\approx$ T

  4. RC >> T

D Correct answer
Explanation

$\text{Time constant = $\tau$ = RC} \\ \text{If} \hspace{0.5cm} RC >> T = \text{period of sinusoid} \\ \text{Then the capacitor will not play its role and clamping will take place.}$
