Concept:

The given circuit is an active low-pass filter using an op-amp. The gain and cut-off frequency of this filter are derived based on its configuration.

Here, R1 is the input resistor, and R2 is in the feedback path along with capacitor C.

The standard form of the transfer function for such a filter is:

\(H(s) = \frac{V_o(s)}{V_i(s)} = \frac{-R_2/R_1}{1 + sCR_2}\)

From this expression, we can identify:

  • Gain = \( -\frac{R_2}{R_1} \)
  • Cut-off frequency (in radians/sec) = \( \omega_c = \frac{1}{CR_2} \)

Calculation:

Given:

Input resistor: R1, Feedback resistor: R2, Capacitor: C

Transfer function: \( H(s) = \frac{-R_2/R_1}{1 + sCR_2} \)

At low frequencies (s → 0), gain approaches \( -R_2/R_1 \)

Cut-off frequency occurs at the point where the magnitude of denominator becomes √2 times:

\( \omega_c = \frac{1}{CR_2} \)

Correct Option:

✅ The correct answer is: 1) –R2/R1, 1/CR2
