Best Answer

In a DC power supply, a low-pass RC filter is typically used to "filter the voltage" by reducing or eliminating any remaining ripple. This works because such ripple has frequency components over 0 Hz (ripple is essentially an AC component with an offset), which are suppressed by the low-pass filter.

What is the advantage of capacitor filter over inductor filter?

An inductive filter is in fact an LC circuit in which an inductor is connected in series with the capacitor. This arrangement is also known as a low-pass filter. http://www.answers.com/topic/inductive-filter

How capacitor work in dc supply?

Since a capacitor resists a change in voltage, it is used to provide voltage to the regulator circuit between the point in time where the rectifying diode turns off, and the point in time where it turns back on. It is a low-pass filter.


Why high pass circuit is called as an Differentiator?

That is its function. An RC low pass circuit is an integrator.


Why does a low voltage circuit create more amperage than a high voltage circuit?

That depends on what you mean. If you mean why does a circuit which has a high voltage side and a low voltage side have a greater average current on the low voltage side, it is probably because of power conservation: P = IV. If this is not what you mean, you will have to be more specific!


What is the difference between an inductive low pass filter and a capacitive low pass filter?

Where you are measuring. A simple filter will be two elements - a capacitor or inductor and a resistor. A capacitor will tend to "trap" low frequencies. In the case of a lowpass filter made of a capacitor and resistor, the output voltage will be measured across the capacitor. Inductors are the opposite, so the output would be across the resistor.


Is earth high pass filter or low pass filter?

Earth is low pass filter, because it tends to absorbe the amblitude of the high frequency waves.
