   1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
   
   What does a capacitor across the base and collector of the transistor do? Apparantly adding a cap (1uF) will slow it down. Can anyone explain how?
   
   2. Relevant equations
   
   
   
   3. The attempt at a solution

   Have you already studied feedback? The capacitor provides a feedback of high frequencies from the collector to the base.

   Can you please elaborate or provide me with a reference. I have a text by Gaussi on Analog devices. What section does this come in (miller capacitance??)

   I don't know your textbook. Miller capacitance is a way of analyzing the effect of the feedback provided by your capacitor.
