1. Discuss how diode limiters and diode clampers differ in terms of their function.


Limiters (clippers) cut off voltage beyond a certain level.
Clampers shift the voltage up or down without cutting it off.
·2. What is the difference between a positive limiter and a negative limiter?


Positive limiter clips the positive part of the signal.
Negative limiter clips the negative part of the signal.
·3. What is the maximum voltage across an unbiased positive silicon diode limiter during the
positive alternation of the input voltage?

0.7V, due to the diode's forward voltage drop.
· 4. To limit the output voltage of a positive limiter to 5V when a 10V peak input is applied, what
value must the bias voltage be?

4.3V (5V - 0.7V).
·5. What component in a clamping circuit effectively acts as a battery?

Capacitor, as it stores and releases charge.
