Make: Electronics Book Experiment 9 - All about capacitors

The sixth in a series of videos in which I try out some experiments from 'Make: Electronics', Charles Platt's excellent introduction to electronics. In this video, I try out Experiment 9 in which the book explains some experiments to understand how capacitors work. 00:00 - Introduction 01:38 - RC network demonstration circuit 04:17 - Capacitor blocking DC demo 06:29 - Can't find tactile buttons from book! 08:02 - Testing the charging rate of RC networks 17:53 - Showing charge/discharge curves on an oscilloscope 21:46 - Using a capacitor for smoothing 24:19 - Capacitive coupling demo 28:36 - Outro Links to the book: https://amzn.eu/d/cXyVlfW (UK) https://a.co/d/i11zkxM (US) You can find further information on the components used in this experiment in Volumes 1 and 2 of the 'Encyclopedia of Electronic Components': Vol 1: https://amzn.eu/d/1lzEccv (UK) https://a.co/d/4S3oVfm (US) Vol 2: https://amzn.eu/d/4QuPQL9 (UK) https://a.co/d/5wyCFtg (US) I'm not associated with, incentivised by, or paid the publisher or author, I'm just a hobbyist sharing my experiences of the book.
