What role do series LC circuits (resonant) play in terms of current flow?
Maximum opposition at resonant frequency
What is the function of parallel LC circuits (resonant) in terms of current flow?

How do tuned circuits function as filters?
By rejecting all frequencies except the resonant frequency
When selecting a specific radio station using an LC tuner, why does the tuner need to change the frequency?
To reject other stations' signals
In an RC high-pass filter, what happens to the capacitive reactance (XC) as the frequency increases above the cut-off frequency?
XC decreases, allowing more voltage to appear across the resistor
In an RL high-pass filter, what is the behavior of the inductive reactance (XL) at frequencies below the cut-off frequency?
XL is very low, causing most of the voltage to appear across the resistor
What is the output voltage of an RC high-pass filter at the cut-off frequency (fCO) relative to the maximum applied voltage?
70.7% or 3 dB down from the maximum applied voltage
How does the performance of RC and RL high-pass filters compare?
Performance of RC and RL high-pass filters is typically identical
In an RC high-pass filter, what happens to the voltage across the capacitor at frequencies below the cut-off frequency?
Most of the voltage is dropped across the capacitor
In an RL high-pass filter, what happens to the inductive reactance (XL) as the frequency increases above the cut-off frequency?
XL increases, causing more voltage to be dropped across the inductor
What is the primary purpose of a band-pass filter?
To pass a narrow range of frequencies
Which of the following is a basic configuration for a band-pass filter?
A series LC network
What is the relationship between a band-pass filter and a resonant circuit?
Resonant circuits are used in both band-pass and band-stop filters
What is the main difference between a band-pass filter and a band-stop filter?
Band-pass filters pass a narrow range of frequencies while band-stop filters pass a wide range of frequencies
How does a series LC circuit act as a band-pass filter?
It passes currents with frequencies at or near its resonant frequency and opposes the passage of all currents with frequencies outside this band
What is the primary application of band-pass and band-stop filters?
They are used in both communication and navigation equipment
