Experiment 5





















Here is some oscilloscope graph which shows charging time of the capacitors as mili seconds cant be observed visually



Oscilloscope
reading of 500 msec

Oscilloscope
reading of 235 msec
















Oscilloscope
reading of 1650 msec










Bigger capacitors takes more time to charge to full then smaller capacitors and also resistors can restrict current flow if installed in circuit and effect charging time of capacitor.

  1. Good use of the pictures and explanation on what is happening. As an extra note did you think about using video to show the capacitors charging up?

  2. Hi Scott! its possible but the charging time of this capasitor is so quick.
