A low-pass filter allows signals with frequencies: (A) Higher than the cutoff frequency (B) Both higher and lower than the cutoff frequency (C) Equal to the cutoff frequency (D) Lower than the cutoff frequency 2. In a low-pass filter, the cutoff frequency is the point at which the output signal is reduced by: (A) 6 dB (B) 3 dB (C) 10 dB (D) 12 dB 3. The primary application of a low-pass filter is to: (A) Pass only the low-frequency signals (B) Block high-frequency signals (C) Pass only the high-frequency signals (D) Block low-frequency signals 4. A low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 1 kHz will allow frequencies: (A) Above 1 kHz to pass (B) Below 1 kHz to pass (C) Below and above 1 kHz equally (D) At 1 kHz only 5. A high-pass filter allows signals with frequencies: (A) Lower than the cutoff frequency (B) Higher than the cutoff frequency (C) Equal to the cutoff frequency (D) Both higher and lower than the cutoff frequency 6. In a high-pass filter, the cutoff frequency is the point at which the output signal is reduced by: (A) 6 dB (B) 10 dB (C) 3 dB (D) 12 dB 7. The main use of a high-pass filter is to: (A) Remove low-frequency noise from a signal (B) Remove high-frequency noise from a signal (C) Amplify high-frequency signals (D) Filter out both high and low frequencies 8. A high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 500 Hz will allow frequencies: (A) Below 500 Hz to pass (B) Above 500 Hz to pass (C) Below and above 500 Hz equally (D) At 500 Hz only 9. A band-pass filter allows signals in a certain range of frequencies. This range is defined by: (A) A low-frequency cutoff and a high-frequency cutoff (B) Only the high-frequency cutoff (C) Only the low-frequency cutoff (D) The output amplitude of the signal 10. The frequency range of a band-pass filter is determined by: (A) The lowest frequency only (B) The mean of the high and low cutoff frequencies (C) The highest frequency only (D) The difference between the high and low cutoff frequencies 11. Which of the following is true about a band-pass filter? (A) It allows only a certain range of frequencies to pass (B) It blocks all frequencies (C) It allows all frequencies to pass through (D) It allows only high frequencies to pass 12. The bandwidth of a band-pass filter is defined as the difference between: (A) The low cutoff frequency and the center frequency (B) The center frequency and the high cutoff frequency (C) The high cutoff frequency and the low cutoff frequency (D) The center frequency and the low cutoff frequency 13. In an ideal low-pass filter, what happens to the signal as the frequency increases past the cutoff frequency? (A) The signal is amplified (B) The signal is attenuated (C) The signal is completely blocked (D) The signal remains constant 14. Which of the following components is commonly used to create low-pass and high-pass filters? (A) Diodes only (B) Inductors only (C) Capacitors and resistors (D) Transistors only 15. The quality factor (Q) of a band-pass filter is a measure of: (A) The total bandwidth (B) The cutoff frequency (C) The sharpness of the filterās frequency response (D) The total amount of signal passed through 16.
