Hint for Q12.


Q12 may be solved algebraically even though we do not know the values of the components. The filter characteristic is deduced by
identifying the sequence of zeros and ones from low frequency to high frequency.

Model answers
There are multiple ways to solve circuit problems. Example answers will be posted on line after you have had a chance to do the
exercises for yourself. It is valuable to recognise which step you are stuck on before reaching for the model answer.
