**Problem 2:**

Assume the capacitor is initially discharged with \( v_c(0) = 0V \). Sketch the capacitor voltage \( v_c(t) \) and capacitor current \( i_c(t) \) of the full-wave rectifier circuit shown below with \( C = 1\mu F \) assuming identical germanium diodes.

**Hint:** The slope of the line in the triangle waveform may be used to determine the point in time that \( v_c(t) = 2V \).

---

**Circuit Diagram:**

- A full-wave rectifier circuit is shown with four diodes (\(D_1, D_2, D_3, D_4\)) arranged in a bridge configuration.
- The input voltage \( v_i(t) \) is applied across the bridge.
- A capacitor \( C \) (1μF) is connected across the output, and the output voltage is \( v_c(t) \).
- The current through the capacitor is marked as \( i_c(t) \).

**Equations:**

- \( i_c(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
30\mu A & \text{for } 0.02s < t < 0.2s \\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{array} \right. \)

- \( v_c(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}
0V & \text{for } t \leq 0s \\
5.4V - 30t - 0.6V & \text{for } 0.002s < t < 0.2s \\
5.4V & \text{for } t \geq 0.2s
\end{array} \right. \)

---

**Graph Description:**

The graph shows a triangle waveform representing \( v_i(t) \):

- On the horizontal axis, time \( t \) is marked with intervals at 0.2s and 1s.
- On the vertical axis, voltage is marked with increments of 6V, ranging from -6V to 6V.
- The waveform is a symmetrical triangular wave oscillating between -6V and 6V over a period of 1 second.

---

**Answers:**

- \( t_{\text{start}} = 0.02s \)
