AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the impact of a speedup capacitor on the collector voltage in a circuit. The original poster is uncertain if their drawn curves accurately represent the collector voltage with and without the speedup capacitor, as they mistakenly drew curves for the base voltage instead. A response clarifies the need to focus on collector voltage, Vc, rather than base voltage, Vb. The poster seeks guidance on how to correctly illustrate the curves for collector voltage. Understanding the role of the speedup capacitor is essential for accurately depicting its effect on collector voltage.

Homework Statement


I'm asked to qualitatively draw two curves, one on top of the other: the resulting signal in Q4’s collector with and without the effect of the speedup capacitor (see attachment).

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I used the net to find the graphs in attachment 2. Do the curves in this attachment indeed demonstrate the effect of the speedup capacitor as requested in the question? I'm not sure.

No, you are asked to draw two curves for the collector voltage, Vc. You have drawn the curves for the basis voltage, Vb.
 
You are right. How may I then draw the curves for the collector voltage?
