Hi I built a simple LC low pass filter and I supply it with a 1 voltV peak to peak acAC voltage at 200 Hz from a function generator. My cutoff is set at 700 Hz and I have selected my circuit components based on this cutoff. However, when I hook up my circuit to the Oscilloscopeoscilloscope both the input and output seem to be attenuated when measured on the Oscilloscopeoscilloscope. The input and output shows up to be around 150 mv PeakmV peak to Peakpeak instead of 1Volt Peak1 V peak to Peakpeak. I believe the capacitors have something to do with this attenuation. What are your suggestions to solve this problem  ? Thanks
