Another transistor amplifier problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding an AC signal displayed on a CRO, specifically focusing on why the signal is centered around 12V and the significance of the cutoff points. Participants express a desire for clear, straightforward explanations regarding these concepts. There is also curiosity about how the output would change if a capacitor were added to the circuit. The original poster invites further discussion and offers their contact information for direct communication. Overall, the thread seeks clarity on the operation of transistor amplifiers in relation to AC signals.

Page 13. AC signal on CRO. Answer is B. How the heck do they do that?

Relevant information is on page before.

Love peoples explanations but please try to keep it simple.

Sorry if i seem direct.

I don't understand why it is centred around 12V, and the cut off points.

Sub-question...? what would this look lke if there was a capictor on the Vout.

not sure if I'm allowed to post my msn address but here it is k.c@internode.on.net, add me for a chat if need be. Thanks a million!
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
