At very high frequencies, the effective impendance of the given circuit will be ______ Ω.
Answer: 2
Solution
At very high frequency each capacitor behaves as a short (XC=1/ωC→0) and the inductor as an open circuit (XL=ωL→∞). The lower-left branch containing the 20 H coil is broken and carries no current. The upper-left branch reduces to its 1Ω resistor, its capacitor shorted. The central capacitor shorts the two middle nodes together, placing the two 2Ω resistors of the right-hand branches in parallel,
2+22×2=1Ω.
This 1Ω is in series with the left 1Ω, so the effective impedance is 2Ω.
