Question

There are two statistical analysis requirements in this experiment. They are:

		Calculate % difference and relative uncertainty of the function generator
		Calculate the resistor and capacitor tolerance
		Compare the calculated tolerances of the resistor and capacitor and compare to the % difference, and calculate the % uncertainty due to scope measurement error
		Calculate the standard deviation of the scope timescale and the voltage probe readings

A small time constant of an RC circuit means

		the resistor will store more charge than the capacitor
		the capacitor will discharge slow
		the capacitor will discharge fast
		none of the above

Answer 1

1)Calculate the resistor and capacitor tolerance

tolerance of the capacitor and resistor will affect the output

2) none of the above

time constant is the time required to charge it to 62.3% or time require to discharge to 36.8%.
