Discharge and Charge of Capacitors
In this experiment, we intended to measure the relationship in the time it takes to charge and discharge a capacitor in an RC-Circuit. The upper left of the picture above, the diagram in for the the RC-Circuit is displayed. An EMF of 4.5 V was exerted into the circuit which contained a 3.6 kilo ohm resister and capacitor. The voltage in the system was measured with logger pro as a function of Voltage vs Time in both charging and discharging of the capacitor.
The picture above displays the graphs of a charging capacitor in blue and a discharging capacitor in red. It is determined through the curve fit line that the voltage is an exponential function, V=Voe^(1/torr). It was determined earlier, in the previous picture, that for is equaled to R*C, the resistance times the capacitance. More importantly torr is a measurement in time of seconds.
