Date of Submission: 19th March 2015. Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the charging and the discharging of a capacitor. In this experiment a capacitor is charged and discharged and the time taken is recorded at equal intervals. Objective: To investigate the charge and the discharge of a capacitor.
During capacitor discharging, the voltage across the capacitor decreases over time. The voltage across the resistor in the circuit acts as a voltage divider with the capacitor voltage. Understanding this principle is crucial for analyzing voltage distribution in circuits. verify it by performing experiment multiple times.
The capacitor takes about 72s to successfully discharge. in series. For this circuit the time constant is 4s. As this time passes the capacitor is 62 % for the first time. So the capacitor is 99% charged around 16s. Now for discharging I used another resistor of 200k Ω for the discharging of capacitor. And for discharging the time constant is 2s so
This document describes an experiment on charging and discharging of capacitors. It involves using a 100μF capacitor, 1MΩ resistor, 9V battery, and multimeter. The procedure is to connect these components in a circuit and take voltage readings across the capacitor at 20 second intervals as it charges.
When a DC voltage is connected across the plates of the capacitor, it charges and when the DC voltage is withdrawn, it discharges. During charging, an electric field is created which in turn result into electrostatic charges being created. As a result, the charges stored in the capacitor grows exponentially.
verify it by performing experiment multiple times. charging percentage will not be same. It took almost five time constants for the capacitor to be 99% charged. For discharging, the capacitor will be 36% discharged for first time constant. It took 5 time constants for the capacitor to be fully discharged.
