Step 1
The capacitor charges up to the peak voltage of the input signal. When the input voltage is less than the capacitor voltage, the diode is reverse biased and the capacitor discharges through the resistor. Since the RC time constant is much greater than the period Show more…

Question 1: A square wave, like the one in Figure 1, is applied across an RC circuit. If you monitor the output voltage across the capacitor, the waveform would resemble that of Figure 2. Label the x-axis of Figure 2 to show the region of charging and discharging of the capacitor.
