on the circuit c. Creates current on the circuit d. Removes noise from the circuit

4. A PC NIC and a switch port create one electrical circuit to use when sending data from the PC to the switch. The transmitter uses a simple encoding scheme that uses a higher amplitude to encode 1 and a lower amplitude to encode 0, sending 1 bit in each bit time.
