Though it is not possible to get a mathematically perfect square wave from a sine wave, it is possible to get a reasonably close square wave from a sine wave. A clipper circuit is one which clips off the top of a sine wave thus giving it a flat top. Clipper circuits find their applications in electronics but not in electrical engineering (that deals with bulk of the power that we use, both at home and in industry).
You can also use a comparator, detecting the zero transitions, and producing a digital output which will be close to a square wave. Squareness will be dependent on symmetry, of course.

Can a low pass filter be used as an integrator?
When a low pass filter is used with a sine wave input, the output is also a sine wave. The output will be reduced in amplitude and phase shifted when the frequency is high, but it is still a sine wave. This is not the case for square or triangular wave inputs. For non-sinusoidal inputs the circuit is called an integrator.
How can an op amp comparator circuit be used for converting sine to square wave?
The wording are confusing an op-amp is an op-amp a comparator is another animal. an op-amp can be used as square wave generator by overdriving it but the results are not desirable. However a comparator will be a switch on-off at the set level.
Why filters are used in rectifier circuit?
to convert pulsed AC to something approximating DC.
Is sine wave used in analog or digital?
No and yes. Digital signals are usually square or pulse waves. By Fourier analysis, however, every periodic wave, even a square wave, is the summation of some series (often infinite) of sine waves.
What is the Symbol used for AC voltage?
a sine wave (~)
How do you change AC into DC and DC into AC?
In most circumstances a full wave diode bridge is used to convert AC into DC. Along with inductors and capacitors used as filters, the DC ripple is smoothed out to a very stable DC voltage. This is the method used in DC power supplies. To convert from DC to AC an inverter is used. Today most inverters use the modified sine wave method which brings the sine wave closer to a AC generated sine wave. Older inverters used an on - off switching procedure to generate a square sine wave. Modern electronics do not work well with square wave generation.

What happen if you give square wave instead of sine wave to the transformer?
If a square wave is used instead of a sine wave in a transformer, the output power will operate at a different frequency. This will produces varying levels of voltage and amperage based on the wave.
What are oscilloscope probes use for?
Oscilloscope probes are used as part of an Oscilloscope. These are the pieces that connect to your circuit in which you would like to measure its sine waves.
How do you convert square inches to inches?
You cannot convert square inches to inches. Square inches are units used to measure area and inches are units of length. You cannot convert one to the other.
What is an equation for power?
Power = (energy used)/(time to use it)Power dissipated by an electrical circuit =(voltage across the circuit) x (current through the circuit)or(resistance of the circuit) x (square of the current through the circuit)or(square of the voltage across the circuit)/(resistance of the circuit)

What component is used in atrucks electrical circuit to convert electromagnetic energy into mechanical movement?
A relay
What are the differences between multilevel inverters?
Inverters convert DC power into AC power through waves called either sine waves or modified sine waves. Sine waves are the waves that are typically found in power from a power plant. Modified sine waves are made to simulate sine waves. Inverters with modified sine waves work well for backup power in houses and are much less expensive. Although there are several types of inverters, all standard inverters use only one switch, or in other words, one power circuit. Multilevel inverters are a a source of high power, often used in industrial applications and can use either sine or modified sine waves. Instead of using one converter to convert an AC current into a DC current, a multilevel inverter uses a series of semiconductor power converters (usually two to three) thus generating higher voltage. While with an inverter you would transfer energy with the flip of one switch, with a multilevel inverter you would have to flip several switches, each switch requiring a circuit. These multiple switches and circuits usually make multilevel inverters more expensive than inverters.
