RL Low-Pass Filter Calculator





Formulas

The formula to calculate the cutoff frequency of an RL low-pass filter is:

Cutoff Frequency:

\[ f_c = \frac{R}{2\pi L} \]

What is an RL Low-Pass Filter?

An RL low-pass filter is an electronic circuit consisting of a resistor (R) and an inductor (L) connected in series. It allows low-frequency signals to pass through while attenuating high-frequency signals. The cutoff frequency is the frequency at which the output voltage is reduced to 70.7% of the input voltage.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the cutoff frequency:

\[ f_c = \frac{5.6 \times 10^3}{2\pi \times 250 \times 10^{-3}} \approx 3.57 \, kHz \]
