Part C

Part D
What is VR when f =2fc?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor $C=1.66\ \mu F$

Resistor $R=80.0\ \Omega$

Peak voltage = 5.10 V

(A). We need to calculate the crossover frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi R C}$

Where, R = resistor

C = capacitor

Put the value into the formula

$f_{c}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times80.0\times1.66\times10^{-6}}$

$f_{c}=1198.45\ Hz$

(B). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = \dfrac{1}{2f_{c}}$

Using formula of  $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=V_{0}(\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{R^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC})^2}})$

Put the value into the formula

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=2.280\ Volt$

(C). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = f_{c}$

Using formula of  $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=3.606\ Volt$

(D). We need to calculate the $V_{R}$ when $f = 2f_{c}$

Using formula of  $V_{R}$

$V_{R}=5.10\times(\dfrac{80.0}{\sqrt{(80.0)^2+(\dfrac{1}{2\pi\times2\times1198.45\times1.66\times10^{-6}})^2}})$

$V_{R}=4.561\ Volt$

Hence, This is the required solution.
