2. Apply a square wave input of 10V_PP and 100Hz that varies from -5V to +5V.
3. Observe the input and output waveforms for 100Hz, 1Hz, 10kHz, and 100kHz.
4. Explain your observations.
5. Now add a DC offset of +5V so that V_in varies from 0 to 10V.
6. Observe the input and output waveforms for 100Hz, 1Hz, 10kHz, and 100kHz.
7. Change the duty cycle of the input voltage to 10 % and repeat step 10.
8. Modify the circuit as shown in Fig.2. and repeat the steps 1 to 7 for this circuit.
9. Explain your observations.
