Someone mentioned that they aren't necessarily drawn that the > flow goes off the page to the right. You are ignoring the things I told you last time. As I said, forget about the line going off the page, forget about C2 for now, and concentrate on just what R2 and D3 do. There is a reason I ask specific questions in a specific order. If you want me to continue with this you have to at least answer the questions I asked before looking around trying to figure out other things. Since you aren't really replying to my last message, I don't remember exactly where we left things. You aren't making it easy for me to help you. I said that once before, so this time I'm not going to quit here. >> Lindy Replies: I'm sorry Olin. I'm really trying. Please don't give up on me as long as I try my best. I think you are a great teacher, and forgive me for trying your patience. Did you mean R2 and D2 or R2 and D3? This is just new to me. I don't know which lines and components to follow. I was trying to be logical, but didn't succeed. Am I on the right track to try to see in which direction the current flows?
