Construct passive low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters with resistor, capacitor, and inductor.
Find the gain, phase, cut-off frequency and the central frequency of the filters.
Observe the difference between the OrCAD-simulated bode diagram and the plot generated by actual experimental data.
Observe the changes in the output waveforms on the oscilloscope as we change the frequency.
