Another Combined Post

Wednesday I gave up on the monostable multivibrator, but I got the astable multivibrator to work!
Astable Multivibrator Questions
1. What does the LED do?  How does this tell you that the astable is working properly?
The LED flashed on and off.  This makes sense because astable multivibrators are supposed to pulse at a frequency determined by the resistors and capacitor.
2. Change R2 to 100kΩ.  What do you think will be the effect of this change?
The pulse will be ten times faster.
3. What was the actual effect of the resistor change?
I was correct in question 2.
I finished these questions on Thursday in the last few minutes of class that we had to work.
