A negative clamper circuit is considered. It shifts original input signal in a downward direction.While positive input is applied, diode is forward biased. The output voltage is Vo which is equal barrier potential of the diode. The capacitor is charged to V-Vo.

When negative input cycle, diode does not conduct because it is reverse biased and the capacitor can not discharge very much because time constant (RC) choosen is high. Now output is sum of input voltage and capacitor voltage and it is equal to -(2V - Vo). Now peak to peak output voltage is difference of output voltages when positive and negative half cycles and it is equal to V-(-(2V - Vo)) or 2V.

In negative clamper, input signal is pushed downward and positive peak of the output signal coincides with zero level.

In positive clamper circuit, unlike in negative clamper circuit, diode is connected reversely.There is no change in connection of capacitor. But resistor is connected after diode. Positive clamping circuit shifts a input signal in upward direction. The output of this circuit shows that negative peak of signal coincides with zero level.

Why resistor is an electronic device?

electronic circuits are those which deals with flow of electrons. in general electronic devices are categorized based on the flow of e as conductor, insulator and semiconductor. since resistor resists the flow of electrons (it deals or works with electrons), it is consider as an electronic device.


How does a simple diode clamping circuit work?

A diode clamp, also often called simply a clamper, works by limiting electric current to a single direction and stops the signal from going beyond the reference. They can be either positive or negative, and biased or unbiased.


What is the direction of an electric current in a circuit?

every electronic circuit works on the principle of direct current .hence from negative to positive.


What electronic work is covered by copyright?

Creative works of original authorship are protected by copyright. In "electronic work", that could include computer software (which is a "literary work"), digital files containing copyrighted literature, images, sounds or audio-visual works, and so forth. Electronic circuits, such as the mask design for integrated circuits, are not protected under copyright laws because they are "functional" and not merely "expression" describing a function. However, some countries have specific laws that protect such designs from copying.


How can best describe the applications of binary numbers?

Electronic circuitry used in computing circuits works well with circuits that can have two states. It could be On (voltage present) or Off (0 volts), or perhaps magnetized towards North, or magnetized South. Or something like positive voltage, and negative voltages. This lends itself to using the binary number system to be represented by these circuit states. That is why computers use the binary number system.


What is difference between electronics and electrical?

Electronics are devices that are made up of electronic components such as semiconductors, resistors, inductors, capacitors. Examples are radios, televisions, computers, microwave ovens, printers, etc. An electronics technician works on repairing these things. An electronics engineer works on designing such things. Electrical typically refers to your home wiring - outlets, switches, dimmers, lamps, etc. An electrician works on these things. In short: electrical circuits handle transfer of energy - electronic circuits handle transfer of information


What do you call a person who works on electronics?

An electrician works with electric wiring and electric devices. An electronics technician works with electric or electronic circuitry. An electronic engineer works with electronic circuitry in a design phase.
