In referring to figure "F" of the illustration, what statement is true concerning the functional purpose of the RC coupling? Illustration EL-0075
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) The RC coupling functions as a filter by removing the DC component from the varying DC input to produce an AC output in phase with the input.
The RC coupling is a simple high-pass filter that removes the DC component of the varying DC input, leaving only the AC component. This results in an AC output signal that is in phase with the original input, as the filter does not introduce any phase shift.
The other options are incorrect because: A) The RC coupling does not shift the output 90 degrees, B) The RC coupling does not shift the output 180 degrees, and D) The RC coupling does not function as a voltage transformer to change the magnitude of the signal.
