Passive Low Pass Filter

Frequency Response. We can see from the results above, that as the frequency applied to the RC network increases from 100Hz to 10kHz, the voltage dropped across the capacitor and therefore the output voltage ( V OUT ) from the circuit decreases from 9.9v to 0.718v. By plotting the networks output voltage against different values of input frequency, the Frequency Response …

23.2: Reactance, Inductive and Capacitive

Capacitors favor change, whereas inductors oppose change. Capacitors impede low frequencies the most, since low frequency allows them time to become charged and stop the current. Capacitors can be used to filter out low frequencies. For example, a capacitor in series with a sound reproduction system rids it of the 60 Hz hum.
