here is what I learned and my question:1. Capacitor C1 is charging through diode B-E of Q1,
so curve of voltage on base Q1 is defined by AV characteristic
of forward biased diode B-E of Q1.
after node 1,2 are connected . there seems have positive feedback that makes VB and vout to go near 3v. (maybe this is the only way). then have this current road: left hand of c1---q1 Base---r2---power supply---q2 emitter---q2 collector---c1 right hand. (maybe this is the only choice).
my question is: when will VB and vout start positive feedback after VB exponential curve?
thx first.
