Q2. Consider the circuit shown in Fig. 2. Derive a difference equation describing the
system dynamics when the input voltage applied is piecewise constant or
𝒆(𝒕) = 𝒆(𝒌𝑻), 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒌𝑻 ≤ 𝒕 < (𝒌 + 𝟏)𝑻

Q3. Consider the impulse sampler and the first-order hold shown in Fig. 3. Derive the
transfer function of the first-order hold, assuming a unit ramp function x(t) as the input
to the sampler.
