Homework Statement
Q] The figure below shows a typical circuit for a low-pass filter. An AC input [itex]V_i~=~10~mV[/itex] is applied at the left end and the output [itex]V_o[/itex] is received at the right end. Find the output voltage as a function of [itex]\nu~(\textrm{frequency})[/itex]

Homework Equations
well.. maybe:
[tex]
Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X^2_C - X^2_L)}
[/tex]
[tex]
i = i_o sin(\omega t + \phi)
[/tex]
[tex]
\phi = tan^{-1}\left(\frac{X_C - X_L}{R}\right)
[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Well.. I'm just thinking that the voltage across the capacitor will be the output voltage. I found out the current in the circuit using the equations and it is coming to be:
[tex]
i = i_o sin\left(\omega t + tan^{-1}\left(\frac{10^6}{2\pi \nu}\right)\right)
[/tex]
This is the current in the first loop. I thought of using Kirchoff's law first.. but i have no idea how to do this in this case as the current will split at the resistor-capacitor junction.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
