In the circuit shown below, if the values of \( R \) and \( C \) are very large, the form of the output voltage for a very high frequency square wave input is best represented by:
In the circuit shown below, if the values of \( R \) and \( C \) are very large, the form of the output voltage for a very high frequency square wave input is best represented by:
Show Hint
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
When the input is a high-frequency square wave and both \( R \) and \( C \) are very large, the circuit behaves like an integrator.
An integrator outputs a signal that is the time-integral of the input.
Since the integral of a square wave is a triangle wave, the output voltage will have a triangular waveform.
Hence, option (C) best represents the output voltage waveform.
