I built a circuit like this to make a blinking LED (actually my circuit is from page 59 of Make Electronics, but very similar)
I wanted to see what would happen if I used a larger capacitor but I only have a 3000uf non-polarized one. I thought it would make the LED blink at a slower rate but instead the circuit acted as if there was no capacitor at all. Why is that?
