A circuit that adds positive or negative voltage to an input sine wave is called _.
Correct answer: A. Clamper
- A. Clamper
- B. Clipper
- C. Diode clamp
- D. Limiter
Explanation
A clamper is an electronic circuit that fixes either the positive or the negative peak excursions of a signal to a defined value by shifting its DC value.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
