CassetteMaster | 30: Capacitors in Series and Parallel @CassetteMaster | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 8 hours ago
Project 30 from the much beloved Science Fair 200-in-One Electronic Project Lab Kit that people could get from Radio Shack. This circuit is built on breadboard (on a nice 1992-vintage Knight Electronics ML-2001 breadboard/power supply/signal gen learning lab device).
In the oscillator, series capacitors make the total capacitance less than the smallest capacitor, making for higher frequency oscillation. With parallel capacitors, the capacitance is the sum of the two, and the frequency is lower.
Remember, I am not the author!! I am reading from the kit's manual.
