Some types of AC circuits are designed to respond to AC frequencies. Circuits that are used to pass some frequencies and block others are called frequency-sensitive circuits . Two types of frequency-sensitive circuits are filter circuits and resonant frequency circuits . Each type of circuit uses reactive devices to respond to different AC frequencies. These circuits have frequency-response curves . Frequency is graphed on the horizontal axis and voltage output on the vertical axis. Sample frequency-response curves for each type of filter and resonant circuit are shown in the examples that follow. Decibels , as they relate to AC circuits, are also discussed.
