Problem 31.10: Speaker system design
Please wait for the animation to completely load.
Assume an ideal power supply. The voltage of the source is the red plot on the graph. Restart.
- Which plot shows the voltage across resistor A?
- Which is the voltage across resistor B?
This is a basic design of a loudspeaker system in which the resistors represent speakers: a tweeter and a woofer. The woofer, a large speaker, wants low-frequency signals (and generates low-pitched sound), while the tweeter, the small-diameter speaker, should get high-frequency signals (to generate high-pitched sound).
- Which resistor represents the tweeter and which represents the woofer? Explain.
