8. Capacitance in circuits, RC circuits When a voltage source Vo is applied to a capacitor in a circuit which has a resistance R, a charge Q CV will build up across the capacitor. This does not happen instantaneously, but takes some time. The charge builds up exponentially with a characteristic time r = RC.

Part A Charging of RC Circuit 1) Construct a RC circuit (series) with a capacitor, a resistor, a battery, two switches, and appropriate meters that will enable you to make measurements of the parameters for charging up the capacitor. The placement of the switches allows you to measure both charging and discharging of the RC circuit.

As the lab capacitor discharged, it did so ever more slowly, and because of this you had to some point simply call an end to data collection even though the capacitor was obviously still discharging. This is because with V = V0e-t/RC, it mathematically takes an infinite time for a capacitor in an RC circuit to fully discharge. Since one cannot measure forever (nor is the equipment accurate enough to do so), is is useful to know exactly how discharged...
