RC High pass filter circuit in TikZ – CircuiTikZ

This post is about drawing a high-pass filter (HPF), type RC, in LaTeX using TikZ and CircuiTikZ packages. It's an electronic filter that passes signals with a frequency higher than a certain cutoff frequency and attenuates signals with frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency.

RC high pass filter drawn in LaTeX using CircuiTikZ

Short description

The RC high pass filter circuit diagram has two electrical components: a resistor and a capacitor. Both components have labels (R for the resistor and C for the capacitor). In addition, it has voltage labels which can be created by using the open circuit element. Moreover, the circuit is drawn above a rectangle filled with cyan color. Check the code below!
