Electronics - Capacitors - Discussion

Xc= 1/(2*pi*f*C)
Also, applied voltage V= Vc + Vr
At low frequency, 1/f is large and hence impedance offered by capacitor is also large. So, voltage drop woould be considerable across it.
On the other hand, at high frequency, 1/f gets small and hence capacitive reactance also small. Major voltage drop takes place across the resistor, or better call load.
Thus, at higher frequencies, we are getting Output voltage more close to the input. So, it is a high pass filter.

It is a high pass filter that all we are knowing.

But, it is not a differentiator.
Reason: because for a good differentiator.
1) T(RC time constant) <= 0.1T(fundamental freq)
2) Xc>= 10R.

Here not a single condition is matching with differentiator property.

That is right. At high frequency that capacitor allows all current flow. Then this current flow will intern produce voltage drop in the load resistor R1. But at low frequency the capacitor give more resistance to the current flow.

This is circuit is both high-pass filter and a differentiator. But if we need to choose the best answer it would be high-pass filter since it is most practically used as a high-pass filter.

Capacitor allow ac and block dc, here is ac supply are given and capacitor placed at the begining so it means it is high pass filter (hpf).

When the capacitor is placed on input side means hpf.

If its placed on output side means lpf.

What is the circuit for low pass filter?

Can filters be drawn using inductor and capacitor?

How it is differentiator?. It is high pass filter because at high frequency Xc is small.

As capacitor allows high frequency to pass and low to stop (dc).

Abinanthana explanation is correct! I agree with you.
