Hello,
I am reading through the student lab manual for AoE (3rd ed) and I am on RC circuits (chapter 2). I skipped to the labs a little to try some practical. The questions are a little vague. There is a question that asks you to find the values of R and C using a 500 Hz square wave. It says to vary the frequency and shows pictures of what happens with too high a frequency and too low a frequency.
I am getting a little worn out with AoE, I have read that other people find it confusing. I have another book on the way from amazon, "Success in electronics". It is smaller and I remember it a lot easier to read and understand.
I understand what capacitors are and now understand the idea of integrator and differentiator. I have made filters before at college and understand the blocking function of a capacitor. Is there anything else that a capacitor is used for? I have read about voltage doublers, but I would like to know more about the fundamentals. What are the fundamentals of a capacitor and RC circuits?
I am reading the AoE as that seems to be the gold standard for electronics books. I just don't get on with it.
any help would be great.
Thanks
Simon
