I Have 2 Solar Cells, Motor, & A Capasitor How Would I Connect Them Together PLEACE HELP!?
Question:
Answer:
Connect the cap across the motor (+ to + if marked)
Connect the 2 solar cells in series (+ on one to - on the other)
Connect the free + of the cells to the + of the motor
Connect the - of the other cell to the - of the motor.
If the cap does not have a + or -, it doesnt matter.
A large capacitor has a + and - connection. Often only the "-" connection is shown. Its function is to store some charge and prevent the motor emitting some electrical noise that might upset radio listeners.
The motor should go backwards if connected the wrong way round. The cells may have red wires for + and black for -.
Tantalum capacitors can explode if powered the wrong way round, but unless you have several square feet of solar cell and strong light, this won't happen.
