    1. The schematic below is an example of a passive RC filter
      1. Is the filter currently configured as a low-pass filter or a high-pass filter? Explain how you would convert from one type of filter to the other.
      2. If the magnitude of the input voltage is 1.00 V. calculate the output voltage when the input frequency is:
        1. 1 Hz
        2. 100 Hz
        3. 5000 Hz
      3. Which frequency is least affected by the RC filter?
      4. If a 1 Hz signal with a magnitude of 1.00V has 5000 Hz noise superimposed upon it (also 1.00V)
        1. Calculate the S/N of the unfiltered signal (99% C.L.)
        2. Calculate the S/N after filtering with the circuit below
