Help Needed: Low Pass Filter Cutoff Frequency Closest to 100 kHz

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the components for a low pass filter that would yield a cutoff frequency closest to 100 kHz, using a provided formula for cutoff frequency.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss potential component combinations and their corresponding cutoff frequencies, with one participant suggesting a specific combination. There is also a focus on understanding the units for capacitance and their implications on calculations.

Discussion Status

The conversation includes attempts to clarify the correct interpretation of capacitance units, with some participants questioning the accuracy of the unit conversions. Guidance has been offered regarding the selection of components, though no consensus has been reached on the best combination.

Contextual Notes

Participants are addressing potential confusion regarding the values of nanofarads (nf) and microfarads (uf) in the context of the cutoff frequency formula. There is an acknowledgment of possible errors in unit representation.

hi there

if anyone could help i would be very grateful

for a low pass filter

from the following list choose the two components which would produce a cut off frequency closest to 100 khz

resistor capacitor
1.6 k ohm 1 nf
33 k ohm 330 nf
150 k ohm 10 uf

formula being fc = 1 / 2pi * r * c

its the exact values for nf and uf that are posing the prob
 
Physics news on Phys.org
1.6k and 1 nf
 
nf = 10 to the ninth
uf = 10 to the sixth
 
many thanks

I think you forgot some minus signs in there.
