Concept:

In an RC differentiating circuit, the output voltage is proportional to the rate of change (derivative) of the input voltage. For a ramp input signal, \( V(t) = at \), the derivative is constant: \( \frac{dV}{dt} = a \).

The output voltage for a differentiating circuit is given by:

\( V_{out} = RC \cdot \frac{dV_{in}}{dt} \)

Given

Ramp input: \( V(t) = 100t \) → so \( \frac{dV}{dt} = 100\ \text{V/s} \)

R = 5 kΩ = 5000 Ω

C = 4 µF = \( 4 \times 10^{-6} \) F

Calculation

Using the formula:

\( V_{out} = RC \cdot \frac{dV_{in}}{dt} \)

\( V_{out} = 5000 \cdot 4 \times 10^{-6} \cdot 100 = 2\ \text{V} \)
