Hello all...
I am trying to understand astable multivibrators and I keep on reading this phrase in connection to one transistor going into saturation and the other going into cutoff...
"This change in voltage is coupled through C2 to the base of Q1, forcing Q1 to cutoff."
This statement is referring to the fact that when the second transistor conducts, the end of the capacitor connected to the collector rapidly drops from (approximately) the voltage of the source to (approximately) ground.
Im not seeing how this change in voltage is "coupled" thorugh the capacitor to the base of the other transistor.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
