300+ Active Filter MCQ – Objective Question Answer for Active Filter Quiz

61. If the gain at center frequency is 10, find the quality factor of the narrow band-pass filter

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C

The gain of the narrow band-pass filter must satisfy the condition,

AF= 2 × Q2

When Q=3,

=> 2 × Q2 =2 × (32) =18.

=> 10<18.

Hence the condition is satisfied when Q=3.

 

62. The advantage of a narrow band-pass filter is

A. fc can be changed without changing gain
B. fc can be changed without changing bandwidth
C. fc can be changed without changing resistors
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: D

The narrow band-pass filter has multiple filters. The center frequency can be changed to a new frequency without changing the gain or bandwidth and is accomplished by changing the resistor to a new value which is given as

R’=R × (fL/fc)2.

 

63. How many types of band elimination filters are present?

A. Three
B. Two
C. Four
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: B

Band-reject filters are also called as band elimination filters. They are classified into two types.

i) Wide band-reject filter and
ii) Narrow band-reject filter.

 

64. A narrow band-reject filter is commonly called as

A. Notch filter
B. Band step filter
C. Delay filter
D. All of the mentioned

Answer: A

A narrow band-reject filter is also called a notch filter because of its higher quality factor, Q (>10).

 

65. Find the expression for notch-out frequency?

A. fN = 2πRC
B. fN = 2π/RC
C. fN = 1/2π × √(R/C.
D. fN = 1/2πRC

Answer: D

The notch-out frequency is the frequency at which maximum attenuation occurs: it is given by fN =1/2πRC.

 

66. The quality factor of passive twin T-network is increased by using

A. Inverting amplifier
B. Non-inverting amplifier
C. Voltage follower
D. Differential amplifier

Answer: C

The passive twin T-network has a selectively low figure of merit. The Q of the network can be increased significantly if it is used with the voltage follower.

 

67. Find out the application in which a narrow band-reject filter can be used?

A. Embedded system
B. Biomedical instrument
C. Digital computer
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: B

Notch filters or narrow band-reject filters are used in biomedical instruments for eliminating undesired frequencies.

 

68. Find the application of the area where all-pass filters are used?

A. Cathode ray oscilloscope
B. Television
C. Telephone wire
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C

When signals are transmitted in transmission lines like telephone wires, they undergo a phase change, and all-pass filters are used to compensate for these phase changes.

 

69. Determine the output voltage for all the all-pass filters and express it in complex form?

A. VO =Vin/ [(1-j2πfRC. /(1+ j2πfRC.].
B. VO =Vin × [(1+j2πfRC. /(1- j2πfRC.].
C. VO =Vin  × [(1- j2πfRC. /(1+ j2πfRC.].
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: C
The output voltage of the all-pass filter is given as

VO =Vin × [(1-j2πfRC. /(1+j2πfRC.] .

 

70. Determine the input frequency for the all-pass filter with a phase angle of 62o. Consider the value of resistor and capacitor are 3.3kΩ and 4.7µF.

A. Input frequency= -7.65Hz
B. Input frequency= -6.77Hz
C. Input frequency= -3.89Hz
D. Input frequency= -9.65Hz

Answer: D

The phase angle is given as

Φ = -2tan-1 × (2πfRC.

=> f=-tanΦ/4πRC

=-tan(62o)/(4π × 3.3kΩ × 4.7µF)

= -1.88/0.1948 =-9.65Hz.

 

71. Determine the angle for the given circuit diagram, if the frequency of the input signal is 1khz

Determine the angle for given circuit diagram, if the frequency of input signal is 1khz


A. -45o
B. -180o
C. -270o
D. -90o

Answer: D

Phase angle Φ

=-2tan-1 × (2πfRC/1)

= -2tan-1 × (2π × 1kHz × 16kΩ × 0.01µF)

= -2tan-1 × (1.0048)=-90o.

 

72. The voltage gain magnitude of the all-pass filter is

A. Zero
B. One
C. Infinity
D. None of the mentioned

Answer: B

The magnitude of voltage gain of all-pass filter

|VO /Vin| = √(1+(2π/RC.2) / √(1+(2 π/RC.2) =1.

 

73. What happens if the position of R and C are interchanged in the below circuit diagram?

What happens if the position of R and C are interchanged in the below circuit diagram?

A. Vin leads VO
B. Vin lags VO
C. VO leads Vin
D. VO leads Vin

Answer: C

For the circuit given, the phase angle changes from 0 to 180o as frequency is varied from 0 to ∞. If the positions of R and C are interchanged, the phase shift and bandwidth input and output become positive. That is the output (VO) leads to input (Vin).

 

74. Choose the incorrect statement “In wide band-reject filter”.

A. Low cut-off frequency of low pass filter must be larger than the high cut-off frequency of the high pass filter.

B. Low cut-off frequency of the high pass filter must be equal to the high cut-off frequency of the high pass filter.

C. Low cut-off frequency of high pass filter must be smaller than the high cut-off frequency of the low pass filter.

D. None of the mentioned

Answer: D

In a wide band-reject filter, the low cut-off frequency of high pass filter must be larger than the high cut-off frequency of the low pass filter.
