A High-Pass Filter. One application of L-R-C series circuits is to high-pass or lowpass filters, which filter out either the low- or high-frequency components of a signal. A high-pass filter is shown in Fig. P31.47, where the output voltage is taken across the L-R combination. (The L-R combination represents an inductive coil that also has resistance due to the large length of wire in the coil.) Derive an expression for V_out/V_s, the ratio of the output and source voltage amplitudes, as a function of the angular frequency ω of the source. Show that when ω is small, this ratio is proportional to ω and thus is small, and show that the ratio approaches unity in the limit of large frequency.
