    Filter Laplace
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a problem related to low-pass filters using Laplace transforms. Participants clarify that low-pass filters allow low-frequency signals to pass while attenuating high frequencies, and they discuss the relationship between voltage across components in a circuit. A key point is the correct representation of circuit components (R, C, L) in the s-domain for analysis. There is confusion around applying the Laplace transform to the equation Vin = Vc + Vr, with users sharing their attempts and corrections regarding the use of impedances. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate algebraic manipulation in deriving the final output voltage across the resistor.

Homework Statement



Low-pass filter allows signals of low frequency to pass while attenuating high frequency signals; similarly, a high-pass filter allows signals of high frequency to pass while attenuating low frequency signals. The signals here can refer to voltage or current in the circuit. There is a link to a picture. I don't quite understand how to solve it.

Homework Equations



I understand that Vin = Vc + Vr.
How do I use Laplace transform on Vin = Vc + Vr. AnD if Vout is the voltage across the resistor R.

The Attempt at a Solution



I am totally stuck.

Do you know how to represent circuits and basic components R, C, L in s domain?
This following link may help.

You will need the Laplace transform for the excitation voltage U(t)sin(wt). You also need to know how to express L, C and R in terms of their Laplace representations, as klondike points out.
 
Thank you! I finally solve it... :)

See my post of June 24.

I can't understand. Argh.kNot so good in this.

I understand SinWt = iR + iC

Then i applied laplace : W/(s^2+w^2) = IR + IC.

Is this correct?

sin(wt) = iR + iC is not correct. R and C are not the same type of impedance!
But you got the right transform for sin(wt).

I tried it with W/(S^2 + W^2) = IR + I/CS

Do i need to diffrentiate anywhere in this question?. I got the first two parts for the showing right. I can't seem to get the final part. I followed the laplace transform on top by making I the subject and doing partial fractions. Then when i found I i laplace inversed it to Find i. And Since Vout is VR : i took the i*R.

Yes, if I understand you correctly, Vout= iR.
Show your math in detail.

Your equation at the top of page 1 is correct. And your answer is almost correct, obviously.

You just made an algebraic mistake somewhere. You can see that the last term in your answer is incorrect since it's dimensionally incorrect. Each term must be dimensionless
(actually it's Volts but you didn't include volts in your excitation function).

I can't follow your math from the pictures. I will leave it to you to find the mistake you made.

Good luck and good work!
