In this laboratory you will examine a simple circuit consisting of only one capacitor and one resistor. By applying a constant 1 voltage (also called DC or direct current) to the circuit, you will
In this lab, the purpose was to explore the logarithmic relationship between voltage as a function of time in resistor-capacitor circuits (RC circuits). The time to charge a capacitor is the same amount as the time to discharge it.
Experiment 5: RC Circuit March 10, 2016 I. PURPOSE The purpose of the experiment is to demonstrate the relationship between time and voltage observing charging and discharging RC circuits. II.
Physics 121A Lab 217 - RC Circuits. Introduction: In this lab, we use a multimeter as well as Matlab to find the voltage across a capacitor containing a resistor and capacitor in series. Through Matlab, a function for the voltage over time can be determined.
In this lab we will investigate three types of circuits: those with only resistors in them and those with resistors and either capacitors (RC circuits) or inductors (RL circuits).
RC Circuits. Purpose - To study the properties of an RC circuit. To measure its time constant. To use the time constant to find values of some unknown capacitors. To confirm the series and parallel formulas for capacitors.
Answer the following questions in your lab report: 1. Compare your measured value with the product of RC obtained from the individual values of R and C measured earlier and equation ˝= RC. 2. Using Equation 2, show the mathematical reasoning behind why the time constant, ˝, represents a 63% decrease in the initial voltage for a discharging ...
