Draw your new schematic with schemdraw.

As the size of the output voltage decreases with increasing frequency we call this circuit a Low Pass Filter.

With these experiments under our belts we dive back into the physics in the hope of clarifying this picture.

In [6]:

# to build the theory we need a well labeled circuit diagram

--------C line and R line swap but I need help doing that dont change tons teacher says

import schemdraw

import schemdraw.elements as elm

with schemdraw.Drawing() as d:

 d += (V0 := elm.SourceSin().label('$V_0$').dot())

 d += (R := elm.Resistor().right().label('R').dot().label('$V_0$', 'left').label('$V_1$', 'right'))

 d += elm.CurrentLabel(top=False, ofst=.5).at(R).label('$I$')

 d += (C := elm.Capacitor().down().label('C').dot())

 d += elm.CurrentLabel(top=True, ofst=.7).at(C).label('$I$').down()

 d += elm.Line().tox(V0.start).dot

 d += elm.Ground()
