RC Oscillator

An RC oscillator is an electronic circuit that generates a continuous electrical signal, or oscillation, using a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C). The resistor and capacitor work together to create a repeating cycle of voltage changes at a specific frequency. The capacitor charges and discharges through the resistor, causing periodic waves. This type of oscillator is commonly used in clocks, timers, and signal generators because of its simplicity and reliability. Its frequency depends on the values of the resistor and capacitor, making it easy to design for specific timing needs.
