Why high pass filter called differentiator?

Because the capacitor is in series with the output. Vice versa for the integrator.


What are the limitations of ideal integrator circuit?

the ideal differentiator has some limitations. The output is limited to the supply voltages, and since the differentiator is a noise-amplifying device, it suffers from excessive response to high-frequencies. Generally a practical differentiator is combined with a low-pass filter to smooth the high-frequency noise effects. Figure 6 shows some possible modifications to the ideal circuit. A large (over 1 MΩ) resistor Rx may be inserted in parallel with Cs and a very small ( 10 pF or less) capacitor Cx may be inserted in parallel with Rf.


What does the capacitor in a low pass filter do?

Does not allow high frequencies to pass through the circuit.


Why integrators are more preferred than differentiator in analog computers?

integrators are more linear than the differentiators and the integrators reduce the power consumption than the high pass filter


What are the applications of Differentiator?

Many real world problems can be represented by first order differential equation. Some applications of differential equation are radio-active decay and carbon dating, population growth and decay, warming/cooling law and draining a tank.


How do you use series RLC circuit as band pass filter?

by combining a low-pass filter with a high-pass filter.[1]


What occurs when two adjacent conductors make electrical contact and by pass a portion of the circuit?

That is called a short circuit.


Explain when step input is given to high pass RC circuit what will be output?

High pass RC circuit?

Hi pass says it passes higher frequency signals and blocks lower pass signals. This isn't typically a hard cutoff point but the lower frequency signals get attenuated over a frequency range. The R stands for resistance and C for capacitance such that these components are used to create the pass band for the circuit.


What is the high-speed signals that pass along the axons of nerve cells called?

The high-speed signals that pass along the axon are called action potentials. They spread in a wave of depolarization.


How the magnitude of voltage and current will behave if you double the RC-ciRCuit input frequency?

If you double the the RC circuit input frequence, the magnitude of voltage and current depends on whether or not the RC circuit is configured low-pass or high-pass, and on whether or not the original frquency is close to the knee frequency (the -3db point). The question has insufficient information to be answered completely.


What happens when a circuit has a gap in it?

When a circuit has a gap in it, everythig stops working because the electricity wont be able to flow around the whole circuit
