Trust me, I'm far from trying to take it too fast, too seriously.. I honestly would like to take it in baby steps if I had the choice, but I'm afraid nobobody wants to walk me threw it. Regardless of the equations everyone keeps spitting out, I honestly don't understand anything what anyone is saying. The only fun I've had so far was making that little graph in InkScape, but that's about it. I did try to spend a little money last night and watch another video, but ended up ending my subscription after what seemed to me as a very short video.@Guest3123 I'm very happy to see that you have chosen to take this learning opportunity seriously.
But don't jump ahead too quickly without completing the current exercise. I have a lot more planned for you along this path.
Treat the learning experience as a journey and not a goal. Or as someone famously said "Life is a journey, not a destination".
Your two graphs are correct.
Now describe in words what you see as being different between the two graphs.
This was the video I ended up watching after the one I posted about in the above post..
Yeah, it seems to be about the letter e, and a bunch of other stuff, that I honestly don't have an inkling of a clue about. I understand what V, I, W, and Ω means.. I understand that tidle or T means time.. etc. I did look up e, and it's something to do with nature, and it's a very popular number, something like 2.14718 etc. I don't know.. but every time I try to look at posts or try to teach myself and try to pay attention to what is being talked about on a dedicated YouTube video, even when almost every video doesn't include an LED in the circuit, it's still too difficult. I honestly am starting to question if I'm really stupid or something else, I honestly don't know. I want to learn about all kinds of stuff, but it seems alot of the stuff I try learning about seems difficult, and foreign to me. I underderstand about the first thing.. Which was how to find a capacitor to discharge current threw the LED for a given time..
if I wanted to use 5vdc, 2 seconds delay, or decay..
0.02A x 2s = 0.04
Vf = LED's Forward Voltage. (7vdc)
Capacitance = (0.02A x 2s) = 0.04A / 7Vf = 0.005714 or.. 571 Hundred Thousandths of a Farad..?
etc.
It took me like a long time to learn about the n-channel mosfet, but I'm pretty familiar with it, and use an n-Channel mosfter every single day in the custom box mod I built. In fact, I've built a few box mods using IXYS power FET's.
I know how to wire up LED's now. That's cool. I wanted to know how to do that for quite some time.
I'm just sitting back now.. If you guys want to unfollow this post now, or just let it die, that's cool. I honestly don't "need" to learn about the discharging of a capacitor, it's something I simply just wanted to learn about for fun. It's not very fun, because alot of people it seems, have tried to help me, and I'm not ready yet. Maybe if I stayed in school or whatever and learned what I was supposed to learn in Math class, I probably wouldn't be in my situation.
Been working on the Chevy Silverado 1500 truck we bought in NJ, and that's basically what I've been up to all day since 8am this morning.
