    I'll bet its fun figuring out those values for real world caps from the typical vendor spec sheet... or do you measure them on the bench?

    I'm inclined to suspect that another reason why 9V is enough regardless of the signal negative peak voltage is that a few millivolts of glitch on a large signal is insignificant, while that same few...

    the phase shift as measured in degrees depends on the frequency, capacitance, and impedance of the circuit. a circuit that causes a 90 degree phase shift in a 8khz signal will only shift a 60 hz...

    RMS is normally used on AC voltages, it stands for Root Mean Square. for a DC, or unchanging constant voltage, RMS would be somewhat meaningless, and in fact, any DC offset (bias) is usually removed...

    +9VDC and a +/-9V AC signal (aka 18V P-P aka 6.4V RMS) would equal a 0-18V signal. you can call that what you want, AC and DC are just names and abstractions.

    a capacitor is charged to 63% after R*C seconds, so 2.2 megohms into a 20uF capacitor (typical for what I've seen) would be 63% charged in 44 seconds. another 44 seconds would charge 63% of the...
