    1. Derive the equation for \(V_{out}\) for the circuit of Figure 18.5.1. Calculate the lowest usable (“integratable”) frequency, \(f_{low}\). Record these items in Table 18.7.1.

    2. Calculate the integrator’s output voltage for the following inputs and record them in Table 18.7.2:

    • 1 volt peak sine wave at 2 times \(f_{low}\)
    • 1 volt peak sine wave at 10 times \(f_{low}\)
    • 1 volt peak square wave at 2 times \(f_{low}\)
    • 1 volt peak square wave at 10 times \(f_{low}\)

    1. Assemble the integrator circuit.

    2. Save the display of the output of the integrator for each of the inputs listed in step 2, above. Call these Graphs 1 through 4, respectively. It is very important to note the phase of the output waveform with respect to the input waveform.

    3. Apply a 1 volt peak sine wave one decade below \(f_{low}\). Save the output signal as Graph 5. Does the circuit appear to be integrating?

    4. Apply a 1 volt peak square wave one decade below \(f_{low}\). Save the output signal as Graph 6. Does the circuit appear to be integrating?
