Capacitors...

[Muhasaresa]

Hi everyone :D,

I know this is not C++ but can I please ask a question related to electronics?

Q: How do capacitors discharge when the current is going one way? Maybe I got it wrong and they don't but then I don't understand why they discharge in this diagram: http://www.williamson-labs.com/pu-aa-555-timer_fast.htm

Please can someone help me?

Thanks,

Muhasaresa

The transistor is saturated, So V_7 \approx 0 and V_2 = 2/3 V_{cc}

Next time use the lounge.
