Using Eq. (12.30)

\% n \text {th harmonic distortion }=\% D_{n}=\frac{\left|A_{n}\right|}{\left|A_{1}\right|} \times 100 \%                                        (12.30)

yields

\% D_{2}=\frac{\left|A_{2}\right|}{\left|A_{1}\right|} \times 100 \%=\frac{0.25 V }{2.5 V } \times 100 \%= 1 0 \%

 

\% D_{3}=\frac{\left|A_{3}\right|}{\left|A_{1}\right|} \times 100 \%=\frac{0.1 V }{2.5 V } \times 100 \%=4 \%

 

\% D_{4}=\frac{\left|A_{4}\right|}{\left|A_{1}\right|} \times 100 \%=\frac{0.05 V }{2.5 V } \times 100 \%= 2 \%
