Nice, thanks...
Now I have a few theoretical questions to answer that I hope you can help me with...
1 - Could we use a BJT instead of a MOSFET and get the same or identical results????
I would say No.
2 - What should we do to invert the Vd waveform? (We could use a simulation here to prove it)
You could arrange that the capacitor charges up while the switch is closed or instead of an 'enhancement' FET use a 'depletion' FET
3 - Could we use this circuit to control a DC engine/motor of 12V and 2A??? Explain your answer. If not, what should we change in the circuit to be able to control that engine/motor???
Check the Ids and Pdis rating of the BS170.
4 - How can we use this circuit to measure the capacitor value??? (assuming the value requested is the capacitance).
Use the formula for a capacitor discharge rate, you know the Rg = 1 meg and C is currently a 10uF... what do you calculate the discharge time to be for that combination.?
Measure the time to discharge an 'unknown' capacitor value..and use the same formula, with the 'new' discharge time.
Thanks
hi,
Lets see your revised answers.
