Homework Statement


Find the transfer function for the filter on the attached picture and sketch it in Bode diagram, if you know ##Q_0 =\frac{\omega _0L}{R}>>1## and ##\omega _0^2=\frac{1}{LC}##.

The Attempt at a Solution


If I am not mistaken, we defined the transfer function as $$H(i\omega )=\frac{U_{out}(\omega )}{U_{in}(\omega )}$$
where ##U_{out}(\omega )=IZ##. $$\frac 1 Z =\frac{1}{R+i\omega L}+\frac{1}{i\omega C}$$ $$Z=\frac{-\omega ^2 LC + i\omega RC}{R+i\omega (L+C)}$$ So finally $$H(i\omega )=\frac{U_{out}(\omega )}{U_{in}(\omega )}=\frac{Z}{Z+R}=\frac{-\omega ^2LC+iR\omega C}{R^2-\omega ^2LC+i\omega R(L+2C)}$$ But I highly suspect this is wrong from the very start. I have no idea how to solve this kind of problems.

The calculation is almost right. Your expression for Z can't be right because it involves summing L and C, which you can't do because they don't have the same units. In your first expression for 1/Z, you're adding ZC instead of 1/ZC.

Thank you!

Well, the end result is not that important (Except that ##1/Z_c## part, that is important). I was just not sure if this: $$H(i\omega )=\frac{U_{out}(\omega )}{U_{in}(\omega )}=\frac{Z}{Z+R}$$ is right. I did the rest of the calculations using Mathematica.
 
Yeah, that's fine. That's just a plain-old voltage divider. It holds for impedances, not just resistances.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
