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

AI Thread Summary
To achieve a low pass filter cutoff frequency closest to 100 kHz, the discussion focuses on selecting the appropriate resistor and capacitor from the provided options. The formula used for calculating the cutoff frequency is fc = 1 / (2π * R * C). Participants note the importance of correctly interpreting the values for nanofarads (nf) and microfarads (uf), highlighting a common mistake with negative signs in scientific notation. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise calculations to determine the best component combination. Accurate selection of components is crucial for achieving the desired cutoff frequency.

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.

Guess I did.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
