Consider the following statements about coupling capacitors.

1. They block the direct bias while passing the signal

2. They set low-frequency break points in the response

3. They set the high-frequency limit of the amplifier

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

The first two are correct and the third is not: the high-frequency limit comes from junction and stray capacitances shunting signal away, not from series coupling capacitors. A series capacitor blocks low frequencies and a shunt capacitance blocks high ones, which is the distinction to hold. Whether a capacitance is in series or in parallel with the signal path decides which end of the response it affects.
