1. Introduction 1.1 Objectives -
To observe and analyze the voltage across a capacitor Vc as a function of time t in a circuit containing a resistor and capacitor connected in series. 1.2 Theoretical Background
-
The objective of this lab is to learn about resistors and capacitors, specifically a RC circuit. We are to gather data on the time it takes for the circuit to charge in one trial and the time it takes to discharge on another. With that data we then measure the time constants.

Facts about Clampers
A clamper is an electronic circuit that fixes either the positive or the negative peak excursions of a
signal to a defined value by shifting its DC value. The clamper does not restrict the peak-to-peak
excursion of the signal, it moves the whole signal up or down so as to place the peaks at the reference
level.
A diode clamp (a simple, common type) consists of a diode, which conducts electric current in only one
direction and prevents the signal from exceeding the reference value; and a capacitor, which provides
a DC offset from the stored charge. The capacitor forms a time constant with the resistor load, which
determines the range of frequencies over which the clamper will be effective.
Question:
A clamping circuit has to have an independent source, a diode, a resistor, and a capacitor. To keep a
constant voltage on the capacitor over the period of the input, the RC time constant must be large. A
design rule of thumb is to make the RC time constant at…
