If a square wave is fed to a differentiating circuit, the output will be _____________?

Correct answer: B. Sharp narrow pulses

  • A. Sine wave
  • B. Sharp narrow pulses
  • C. Rectangular wave
  • D. Triangular wave

Explanation

A differentiator produces a large pulse whenever the input changes rapidly. The rising and falling edges of a square wave therefore produce sharp narrow pulses of opposite polarity.
