A low-pass RC filter has a crossover frequency fc=200 Hz.What is fc if:

a. The resistance R is doubled?

b. The capacitance C is doubled?

c. The peak emf E0 is doubled?

Short Answer

Expert verified

part(a) fc= 100 Hz

part(b) fc= 100 Hz

part(c) fc= 200 Hz

Step by step solution

01

part(a) step 1 : given information

we have given that

A low-pass RC filter has a crossover frequency fc =200 Hz

we have to find fc if resistance R is doubled

02

part(a) step 2 : simplify

as we know in low- pass R C filter,

fc=12πRC

according to given question

fc=12πRC=200Hz

if resistance R is doubled

fc'=12π2RC=fc2=2002=100Hz

03

part(b) step 1 : given information

we have given that

A low-pass RC filter has a crossover frequency fc=200 Hz

we have to find fcif capacitance C is doubled

04

part(b) step 2 : simplify

as we know in low- pass R C filter,

fc=12πRC

according to given question

fc=12πRC=200Hz

if capacitance C is doubled

fc'=12πR2C=fc2=2002=100Hz

05

part(c) step 1 : given information

we have given that

A low-pass RC filter has a crossover frequency fc=200 Hz

we have to find fc if peak voltage E0 is doubled

06

part(c) step 2 : simplify

as we know in low- pass R C filter,

fc=12πRC

according to given question

fc=12πRC=200Hz

if peak emf E0 is doubled there will be no change therefore,

fc=200Hz
