Discharging Capacitors 1. Introduction In this experiment you will measure the rates at which capacitors in series with resistors can be charged and discharged. The time constant RC will be found. Charging a capacitor. Consider the series circuit shown in Fig. 1. Let us assume that the capacitor is initially uncharged. When the switch S is open there is of course no current. If the switch is closed at t=0‚ charges begin to flow and an ammeter will be able to measure a current. The charges

Investigation on Capacitance and RC circuit Hamdy Hamdy Abdel Moneim Abdou‚ Jaime Lorenzo C. Olivares‚ and Karol Giuseppe A. Jubilo National Institute of Physics‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City Abstract This experiment is designed to further the understanding of the relationship between voltage‚ charge‚ and capacitance of capacitors. This also explains how values of effective capacitance for series and parallel combinations of capacitors are obtained

target. There are two modes of attention in which people typically rely on: parallel processing and serial processing. Parallel processing involves investigating and analyzing a multitude of objects on many different kinds of analysis all at the same time. In contrast‚ serial processing involves investigating each object one at a time. What strikes our interest and the question at hand is whether attention moves in a parallel or serial manner when it comes to searching for a target in respect to

Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water

Wall Conducted on: September 17‚ 2009 Submitted on : September 24‚ 2009 Abstract: In this lab students experimented with light emitting diodes. The student built a basic circuit with two LED’s and resistors in parallel. The results showed that the voltage is the same in parallel. The items that were in series had the same

Speaking Engagements—The Rubber Chicken Circuit One of the important parts of my job was public speaking. Having been a college teacher and having taught a lecture class of over 350 students in General Botany and well over 100 in Ecology‚ I was comfortable speaking before audiences. The talks I gave almost always fell into three categories: explaining our departments programs‚ promoting our departments programs‚ and presentations on current environmental issues. Generally‚ I enjoyed these speaking

They are microscopic cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues throughout the body. Upon transporting oxygen‚ red blood cells also exports waste‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ to the lungs where it can be expelled. Red blood cells are made up of hemoglobin which is surrounded by a

They are most frequently used in electric vehicles because of their high efficiency and high power density. They are also present in the small DC fans used in power supplies and CPU coolers. In order to discuss the Brushless DC Motor it is important to first have a basic understanding of the more common Brushed DC Motor which is present in many household items. The brushed DC motor consists of a rotor
