The circuits below consist of two-element combinations of capacitors, diodes and resistors. Vin represents an ac-voltage with variable frequency. It is desired to build a circuit for which Vout ≈ Vin at high frequencies and Vout ≈ 0 at low frequencies. Which of the following circuits will perform this task?
(GR9677 #45)
High-pass filter: Vout ≈ Vin at high frequencies, (ω → ∞)
Low-pass filter: Vout ≈ 0 at low frequencies (ω → 0)
Diode is a device to allow current flow in one direction only. A combination of Diode and Resistor will not affect the output frequency.
→ (B), (C) are FALSE
(A), (D), (E) circuits are combination of resistor and capacitor.
Capacitive reactance, XC = 1 / ωC
XC → 0 for ω → ∞
XC → ∞ for ω → 0
(A) FALSE
It is parallel combination of capacitor and resistor, voltage is uniform throughout the circuit.
(D) FALSE
It is Low-pass filter only.
Using Voltage Divider for series circuit: Vout = XC / (R + XC) Vin
XC → 0 for ω → ∞
Vout = 0 / (R + 0) Vin ≈ 0(E) TRUE
It is High and Low-pass filter.
Using Voltage Divider: Vout = R / (R + XC) Vin
XC → 0 for ω → ∞
Vout = R / (R + 0) Vin Vout ≈ Vin
XC → ∞ for ω → 0
Vout = R / (R + ∞) Vin
Vout ≈ 0
