Hi Everyone,
I Know theoretically how a capacitor works and i know they can hold charge and release it instantly, i also know they charge expotentially. but when i look at the majority of circuits they all have caps, i feel i know how they work but i dont know the full potential of them,
i read they can block certain frequencies but then why would they be used on a dc circuit(no waveform)? and im sure a few guys said before i should permanently have some set up on my breadboard.
how do people know what size cap to use what type (electrlytic or not), what it should be made from. all this sort of stuff confuses me becasue we dont get taught about them in this way at college.
i feel im missing out on some important electronics knowledge
any good reads would be appreciated or a few words of wisdom from you guys. so just any information on the uses of caps really
Cheers again
