AI Thread Summary
A clipper in a series circuit with a diode is essential for limiting the voltage to a specific level, effectively "clipping" the waveform of the input signal. The input signal refers to the voltage or current that is applied to the circuit, which can vary over time. The part of the circuit being clipped is typically the peaks of the input waveform that exceed the diode's threshold voltage. Understanding these concepts is crucial for analyzing how diodes function in clipping applications. Further clarification can be achieved through diagrams and examples to enhance comprehension.

hello!...I'd like to ask what are the importance of a clipper in a series circuit with diode.What is an input signal because I've read it in the book of boylestad and still i don't understand what is it.what part of the circuit that is being clip?please...it would be helpful for my report.

Welcome to the PF.

Could you please provide a diagram and further explanation? We cannot give you answers for your report (it's against the PF rules), but we should be able to give you some hints...
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
