Does not allow high frequencies to pass through the circuit.
Where you are measuring. A simple filter will be two elements - a capacitor or inductor and a resistor. A capacitor will tend to "trap" low frequencies. In the case of a lowpass filter made of a capacitor and resistor, the output voltage will be measured across the capacitor. Inductors are the opposite, so the output would be across the resistor.
Capacitor has many applications in electronics circuits, one of its application is in FILTERS. Mainly two types of Filters are formed with the help of capacitor namely, i)Low Pass Filter(LPF) ii)High Pass Filter(HPF) Impedance of capacitor is inversely propotional to the frequency, therefore a capacitor in series with resistor will act as Low Pass Filter. since all the high frequency are passed to ground.
An inductive filter is in fact an LC circuit in which an inductor is connected in series with the capacitor. This arrangement is also known as a low-pass filter. http://www.answers.com/topic/inductive-filter
The differential equation for a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c. Set that up in a circuit and force an AC power source, such as sin(theta), and you will see that lowering the frequency will increase the equivalent resistance. I'll leave that exercise for you. The net result is that a series capacitor is a high-pass filter, while a parallel capacitor is a low-pass filter.
1st order that has in low pass filter one resistor and a capacitor in parellal to ground .And the 2nd order filter has one pole as a above and second as resistor in series and capacitor for gain and the refers to the number of components (C,L).
a capacitor have a property it oppose any change of voltage
A low pass filter allows "low" frequencies to pass through a circuit and blocks higher frequencies.
That depends on the type of circuit you are talking about. Sometimes both an inductor and capacitor are both in parallel with each other. This is called a tank circuit. Sometimes they are both used in series. These are both examples of resonant circuits. Sometimes the inductor can be in parallel with an applied voltage and the capacitor in series. This is a form of high pass filter. On the other hand, the inductor can be in series and the capacitor in parallel to for a low pass filter.
The cutoff frequency of filter depends upon the value of capacitor and resistance. Therefore, below cutoff frequency or above this frequency, capacitor allow to pass all other frequencies.

Only frequencies in the pass band range will be allowed through the circuit. Other frequencies will be attenuated based on the RC values picked.
Earth is low pass filter, because it tends to absorbe the amblitude of the high frequency waves.
