PART IIIB: Data Recording – Diode and Capacitor

Add the 470

µ

F capacitor in parallel to the 100

resistor. Carefully bend the leads of the

capacitor so they can fit in the same component springs as the resistor. Put the shorter wire lead
of the capacitor into the right hand component spring. The capacitor acts as a “filter”.
