Put a capacitor in series with a battery. Capacitor is initially uncharged. Close the switch. By Kirchoff’s 1st law: in series with a resistor. Close switch; charge will dissipate through the resistor. Again, by Kirchhoff's loop rule The calculation is now very similar to the case we just studied...
Using the same starting potential difference across the capacitor, determine the experimental value of the time constant by taking data on the discharge of the capacitor as a function of time, as you did in the very first part of the laboratory experiment. Fit the data and determine the time constant for capacitors wired in parallel. R =5000W.
For a capacitors are electronic the capacitance depends on the physical and geometrical proprieties of the device. It is given operationally by the ratio of the charge Q stored in the device and the voltage difference across the device ΔV. The schematic symbol of a capacitor is two parallel lines which represent the capacitor plates.
This experiment features an RC circuit, which is one of the simplest circuits that uses a capacitor. You will study this circuit and ways to change its effective capacitance by combining capacitors in series and parallel arrangements. A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a small distance.
To connect a capacitor to iOLab, first ensure the capacitor has zero charge by short-circuiting it (touch both terminals with a conducting wire and make sure the A8 probe reads zero). Then, connect the terminal strip with the A8 terminal to the D6 voltage source in the iOLab device. Finally, turn on the voltage.
Be sure the power supply is turned off and the voltage control turned down to zero. Connect the low-capacitance test cable that came with the electrometer (with BNC connector and leads) to the electrometer input. Connect the ground lead of the test cable to the moveable plate of the capacitor and the other lead to the fixed plate of the capacitor.
