Engineering Transfer function of a circuit with a resistor, capacitor, and coil

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the transfer function Vout(s)/Vin(s) for a circuit containing a resistor, capacitor, and inductor. A participant acknowledges an error in their approach, particularly in measuring the output voltage relative to the ground. They realize they applied the formula mechanically without fully understanding its function. The conversation also highlights the importance of correctly referencing the output voltage in circuit analysis. Overall, the exchange emphasizes the need for a clear understanding of circuit principles when determining transfer functions.

The voltage divider approach is fine, but pay close attention to where the output voltage is being measured; it's not using the ground (source -ve terminal) as a reference...
 
Oh! I used this formula so mechanically already that I forgot what it does and how it functions! Huh... there you go :-)

You're very welcome, FP.
