Introduction
In circuit theory, a filter is an electrical network that alters the amplitude and/or phase
characteristics of a signal with respect to frequency. A low-pass filter passes low frequency
signals, and rejects signals at frequencies above the filter's cutoff frequency. A sinusoidal signal
is applied to simple low pass filter circuits. The input and output voltage are monitored on an
Oscilloscope, and effects of changing the input frequency is investigated.
