Cutoff frequency of RC low-pass filter:

ARC²
BRC
Cf_c = 1/(2πRC)
DR/C
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. f_c = 1/(2πRC)
**Single-pole RC LP:** f_c = 1/(2πRC). At f_c, output attenuates -3 dB (half power). **Roll-off:** -20 dB/decade beyond. **Phase:** -45° at f_c, approaches -90° at high f. **High-pass:** just swap R and C, same f_c formula.
