ok, just humour me for a moment while my logical brain is in gear
If we can discount I from the equation & in post #381 you said V has nothing to do with frequency, that only leaves R from main three components & was understood to be playing a part in this, but then we went chasing after time constant & something about RC
What sets the frequency if we suddenly jumped to it being an input to find whatever we were looking at & what was it we were looking at?
ermmm, no it wasn't really was it, looking at it again was just another way of saying what is V when expressed as V=
Sorry **broken link removed**
thanks for putting up with me
damn, CBB you were right again, looking back, The frequency was not changed in the sims I did, you've just taught me to look more closely in future
I'm back **broken link removed**
I don't mind making mistakes while learning but for the life of me I struggle when I can't see where it's all going wrong
reading back, R is controlling the cap to get the required frequency as without R the cap is unstable & can change the frequency, R is just stabilising it at what ever frequency you decide on
so does this mean the Rc is just the output graph of the cap
so frequency isn't some strange word for wavelength but simply the frequency of the cycle or in english, how often the cycles are over time
V can be altered around circuit but I is spread even throughout circuit, so I is only ever a product of V & R, I see where your going with this, duly noted in folder
'I' is still spread around circuit until AM4 where it has no choice but to come back together, AM1/2/3 are all 1A each but if I change to 10V AM4 reads 6A meaning 'I' reading does not stay stationary when V is altered but ohms does, it has no choice it is fixed
-3db is nothing more than 70.7% or 0.707 or √2 divided by 2 of the reference input. The frequency this occurs at for a resistor and capacitor in series is f=1/(2∏RC)
Morning CBB
We finally have a bit of movement in this thick head of mine, I can nearly see what's happening now, just gotta work out why 'I' is so low compared to frequency then I should be able to relate to things.
But please continue with other stuff as well so it helps me understand

I can see where we are heading at last & how it is relating to frequency, but ive ran out of time before I got to understand it properly.....sigh
Out on bike all day tomorrow, back Wednesday
Have a good day tomorrow guys, have a day off from my antics.lol
At least we can move forward on this when I get back now I know what we are looking at
