Diagram for USCG Electrical Assistant: In referring to the frequency response filters shown in the illustration, what...
AThe value of the RC time constant
BThe magnitude of the incoming voltage
CThe value of the resonant frequencies associated with L and C
DThe value of the total load resistance
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) The value of the resonant frequencies associated with L and C. The resonant frequencies determined by the values of the inductor (L) and capacitor (C) in the circuit define the bandpass or bandstop frequencies of the frequency response filters. The values of L and C determine the specific frequencies that will be allowed to pass through (bandpass) or be blocked (bandstop) by the filter. This is the primary factor that determines the frequency response characteristics, not the RC time constant, magnitude of the input voltage, or total load resistance. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not directly determine the bandpass or bandstop frequencies of the filter circuit. The RC time constant, input voltage magnitude, and load resistance may affect other circuit properties but do not directly set the crucial frequency response parameters.
