E7C01: How are the capacitors and inductors of a low-pass filter Pi-network arranged between the network's input and output?

A capacitor is in parallel with the input, another capacitor is in parallel with the output, and an inductor is in series between the two

Two inductors are in series between the input and output and a capacitor is connected between the two inductors and ground

Two capacitors are in series between the input and output and an inductor is connected between the two capacitors and ground

An inductor is in parallel with the input, another inductor is in parallel with the output, and a capacitor is in series between the two



E7C02: A T-network with series capacitors and a parallel (shunt) inductor has which of the following properties?
