Re: Not so easy after all

I find it easier to do parallel resistors the dumb way:
1/R1 + 1/R2 = 1/RT;
1/50,000 + 1/332,000 = 1/43,455
RT = 43,455

If your desired cutoff is 16 HZ, and you are doing 1/10 that value or 1.6Hz, then:
as you stated Capacitance desired = 1,000,000/(2 x 3.14 x 1.6 x 43,455) = 2.29uF.
You did just fine your way.
If you make your output resistor really huge, say 10 Meg, so that only the 50k load matters, a 2uF cap will suffice. A 1uF cap would then provide you a 3.2Hz cutoff, still pretty good, chances are you'll be satisfied with that.
Experiment. Just don't touch the pointy end of the iron while it's on.
