Operational Amplifiers + RC Filter (High Pass Filter)
This circuit illustrates the loading effect on an active filter (op-amp + RC filter).
"Loading effect": the effect of adding another device (for example with an internal resistance of 10KΩ) to the current circuit CHANGES the cut-off frequency of the filter.
Comparing the output of the following two versions of the circuit demonstrates the "Loading Effect":
(i) the one at the top with no load (switch is open)
(ii) the one at the bottom with the load RL connected
A solution to this problem is to take the filter to the input of the op-amp. For example, check the following link:
