2 questions about a fully DC Sine Wave....let's suppose you have a DC
Sine wave which varies from +5V to +15V peak-to-peak going into a load
with R, L, and C components.....
Question #1:
Is the load's impedance a function of R, L, and C (and wave frequency)
or is it simply just R (i.e. Z=R)? In other words does non-resistive
impedance (L + C) really only matter with an AC signal OR anytime
voltage varies periodically (even if it is all DC)?
What you describe is a 10V pk-pk sinewave sitting 'on top' of 10V DC.
The load current will depend on the RLC configuration. E.g. if there is series C then there
will be no DC load current. Only the AC component will be affected by reactance either way.
Question #2:
Would a "regular" negative peak detector ciruit, like shown here:
http://www.elektroda.net/cir/index/Detector Circuits/NEGATIVE PEAK DETECTOR.htmgative
work for the DC Wave described? Will it output +5V or do negative peak
detectors only work for AC signals?
404 error.
