I am a second year EE student and I have been assigned a small filter project for the end of the semester. It is nothing crazy; just build a small filter on a breadboard and analyze the frequency cutoff with the Analog Discovery kit. The schematic is attached and shows the required components:
(x1) 1k resistor
(x1) 2.2k resistor
(x1) 1 uF capacitor
(x1) 741 Op Amp
My question, however, is the circuit kit that we were requested to buy does not contain a 1 uF capacitor. Instead it has a bunch of 100 uF, 10 uF, 22 pF, and 104 pF capacitors. While this isn't due until December, (so no rush to slap together a working circuit), but my curiosity is peaked as to whether I could use a combination of those capacitors to create an equivalent 1 uF.
