what happens to the speed of the light flashing when i increase the capcitor?

Answer 1

In a typical 'flashing LED' circuit that uses a capacitor. NORMALLY it will SLOW the frequency of the flash as it takes longer to go through a charge/discharge cycle.

Other circuits that use capacitors for flashing LED can induce a 'decay' in the switch off if using an I.C ('chip') as the timer resulting in the light fading out gradually after each cycle.

Answer 2

What you need to do is supply at least the basic information in order for people to answer your question.

If you refer to the actual speed of light, then nothing happens as light is a constant and cannot change.

If you refer to the frequency of the flashing then it really depends on your set up, you can easily produce a system that would go either way, ie up or down depending how it is wired.

Next time think about the question and don't presume that people know what you are thinking. Not being rude, its just fact.

Answer 3

You should provide a circuit, but based on most applications where a capacitor is charged to some potential, then discharged into a lamp, you will generally slow down the flashing by increasing the size of the capacitor. It takes longer to charge the capacitor.

Answer 4

Like the others have said, re write your question with and be more specific.

Not having a go, just give us a little bit more info

Answer 5

It mostly depends on how you have it all wired up; why not try it and see?

Answer 6

if you are using a flux capacitor it will result in you going back in time

Answer 7

Who knows ??? We don't have any hint what your circuit is.

Answer 8

describe the circuit.
