Capacitors in Red - Circuit Functions

AI Thread Summary
The capacitors circled in red serve crucial functions in the circuit. They allow AC signals to pass while blocking DC bias voltage, ensuring that preceding circuits remain unaffected. The 4.7uF capacitor specifically enhances gain for frequencies above 66Hz. Additionally, the source resistor in parallel with this capacitor helps to set the DC bias point more accurately. Understanding these roles is essential for optimizing circuit performance.

The capacitor allows the AC signal to pass, but blocks the DC bias voltage established by resistors so that any preceding circuit is not affected by it.
 
And the 4.7uF capacitor increases the gain above 66Hz. The source resistor in parallel with that cap is used to set the DC bias point more accurately.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
