Low-Pass Filters: Self-Assessment Questions

Listed below are the self-assessment questions for the video on Low-Pass Filters:

1. True or False: Depending on the signal frequency, a passive low-pass filter can generate an output signal with a larger amplitude than what was input?
2. A first order RC low-pass filter is created by putting a(n) ____ in series with a(n) ____, with the first element mentioned being closer to the incoming signal.
   A. Capacitor; resistor
   B. Inductor; resistor
   C. Resistor; capacitor
   D. Resistor; capacitor
3. What is the cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter with a 1 kΩ resistor and a 10 nF capacitor?
4. How would you increase the rate at which higher frequencies just above the cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter are attenuated (but keep the cutoff frequency the same)?
