Project #2: Astable Multivibrator
1. What doe the LED do? How does this tell you that the astable is operating properly?
The
LED blinks. This tells me it is operating correctly because it is doing
what any astable multivibrator does: It blinks at a frequency relative
to the values of C1, R1, and R2.
2. Change R2 to 100kΩ. What do you THINK will be the effect of this charge?It will blink faster.
3. What is the ACTUAL effect caused by the resistor change?It appears to stay on, probably because it is blinking so fast that it appears to be constantly on.
