8. By referring to the Figure 5 (you may refer to Example 9.13 in the text
book)
Figure 5
(a) Calculate the phase shift (output with respect to the input) of the (9 Marks)
circuit if 𝑉𝑖 = 1∠0𝑜 (C4)
(b) State whether the phase shift is leading or lagging (C3) (1 Mark)
(c) Determine the magnitude of the output when the input is 120V (2 Marks)

9. The circuit shown in Figure 6 is used to make a simple low-pass filter. (7 Marks)
An important part of choosing the appropriate value of C is to determine
the highest frequency to be passed and then choose a value of C such that
the output voltage is 1/√2 times the magnitude of the input at that
frequency. Determine the value of C to make a low pass filter for
frequencies from 0 Hz to 1000 Hz? (C4)
