Electronics Flashcards
1
Q
Astable circuit
A
A circuit made using computer-aided design software.
2
Q
What does the circuit use?
A
The circuit uses component symbols to represent components. The dots on the wire show that the wires are connected.
3
Q
What happens when it is completed?
A
When completed, an electronic pulse is created. We used this pulse to flash the Light emitting diode.
4
Q
How is the speed controlled?
A
The speed at which the LED flashed could be controlled by changing the size of the resistor R2.
5
Q
How does the size affect the pulse?
A
The larger the size of the resistor the slower the pulse, and the smaller the resistor the faster the pulse.
