1. Consider the integrator circuit in Figure Q1. The input signal, Vi to the circuit is a 10 kHz
square wave with a peak voltage of ±1 V. Determine each of the following:
(a) Sketch and label the values of the output signal, Vo.
(b) At what frequencies will the circuit stops acting as an integrator.
(c) Sketch the output signal, Vo when it is not acting as a integrator and what is it acting
as now?
(d) Sketch and label the frequency response of this circuit and mark the cutoff
frequency.
