The Pythagorean Theorem can be applied to the phasors drawn in Plots 6-4 and 6-5. Show that the data in both plots satisfies the equation:
Assume you needed to pass high frequencies through an RC filter but block low frequencies. From the data in
Plot 6-6, should you connect the output across the capacitor or across the resistor? Explain your answer.
Answer:

What happens to the total impedance of a series RC circuit as the frequency is increased?








Explain why the phase angle between the generator voltage and the resistor voltage decreases as the frequency is increased.
If  you replace the 10 nF capacitor with a 100 nF capacitor, predict what happens to the frequency response shown in Plot 6-6 with the larger capacitor.
Answer:

Assume there was no current in the series RC circuit because of an open circuit. How could you quickly determine if the resistor or the capacitor were open?
Answer:
