Method – I
$\text{Z} =\text{E}/\text{I}$
Calculation of $\text{Z} =\frac{12}{0.5}= 24\Omega$
$\cos\phi = \frac{\text{R}}{\text{Z}}$
Calculation of R = 12Ω.
Method – II
$\text{Z} = \text{E}/\text{I}$
Z = 24Ω
$\tan \phi = \frac{\text{X}_{L}}{\text{R}}$
R = 12Ω.

    Figure shows a typical circuit for a low-pass filter. An AC input $V_{i }= 10mV$ is applied at the left end and the output $V_0$ is received at the right end. Find the output voltage for ν = 10kHz, 1.0MHz and 10.0MHz. Note that as the frequency is increased the output decreases and, hence, the name low-pass filter.
