In this lab we will learn to control the rate at which energy is transferred!
When Vs>Vcap then the circuit is CHARGING
When DISCHARGING, the R(discharge) will absorb the energy.
In THEORY:
Let's build our circuit!
The experiment consisted of one power supply, two resistors, and a capacitor
Let's use our calculations to help us decide values for the devices:
To charge the network it was theoretically said to take 20 seconds
To discharge it was theoretically said to take only 2 seconds
Results
Charging time: 22.27s
Discharging time: 5.15s
Conclusion:
In order to have resulted with better values we should have used different resistors. Part of the error could also be due to old devices, improperly manufactured products, or possibly from human error. One noticeable mistake that occurred was caused by leakage resistance that passed through the capacitor, we ended up with less voltage that may have impacted our data.
