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.
In the simple act of charging or discharging a capacitor, we find a situation in which the currents, voltages and powers do change with time. C! (26) resistor because I = 0. If the switch is closed at t = 0, the capacitor begins to discharge through the resistor. Figure 3. Discharging a capacitor
The time constant of a discharging capacitor is the time taken for the current, charge or potential difference to decrease to 37 \% of the original amount. It can also be calculated for a charging capacitor to reach 63 \% of its maximum charge or potential difference.
To increase the rate of discharge, the resistance of the circuit should be reduced. This would be represented by a steeper gradient on the decay curve. The time constant of a discharging capacitor is the time taken for the current, charge or potential difference to decrease to 37 \% of the original amount.
This accumulating charge gives rise to a voltage difference V across its terminals (plates). In most practical applications, each conductor initially has zero net charge and electrons are transferred from one conductor to the other. This is called charging the capacitor.
In most practical applications, each conductor initially has zero net charge and electrons are transferred from one conductor to the other. This is called charging the capacitor. Then, the two conductors have charges with equal magnitude and opposite sign, and the net charge on the capacitor as a whole remains zero.
