compute R , R and explain why this Fig. 5
circuit is not a viable one.
2. To obtain the desired amplification, the
circuit of Fig. 6 is then realized to
circumvent the drawbacks of the previous

Problem VI
Let’s consider the circuit of Fig. 7, the

Fig. 8.
1. The voltage across the capacitor C0 is
zero at initial time, e, e’ are considered as
constants first. Assuming that " = # +
# % &' ≪ )* , what is the mean value of

2. Now it is assumed that the mean value
of is equal to its instantaneous. What
could be the reason of such an

assumption? Derive the differential
