Well, a thread by me after many months.
I was in discussion about his topic with some fellow members of the forum, and we couldn't conclude with one answer.
Here's a circuit of a DC Chopper.
The output waveforms of a DC Chopper (Buck Converter) is as below.
We can see from the images that the output is astable, it keeps changing from 0 to 1. But, yet people call the output of dc chopper as Direct Voltage, as depicted in the image below.
My questions are: 1) How can we justify that the output is DC, when the output is not actual DC?
2) In relation to the case above, can we even call any ossilating square waves as DC?
3) Wont the output voltage keep switching ON and OFF the electronic components connected to it?
