High-Pass Filters: Self Assessment Questions

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

1. If you employ a first order passive high-pass filter to attenuate noise at 60 Hz, is it best to use a 61 Hz cutoff frequency? Why or why not?
2. What is the order of circuit elements in a passive first-order RC high-pass filter?
   A. Resistor then a capacitor
   B. Inductor then a resistor
   C. Resistor then an inductor
   D. Capacitor then a resistor
3. A first order passive high-pass filter is constructed using a 330 kΩ resistor and a 110 pF capacitor. What is this filter’s cutoff frequency to three significant digits?
4. How would you increase the rate at which frequencies below the cutoff frequency of a high-pass filter are attenuated (but keep the cutoff frequency the same)?
