Rc circuit experiment report6/12/2023 ![]() Initially, consider the switch to be in position 2 and the capacitor in Figure 1 to be uncharged. When the switch is in position 2, the power supply is removed from the circuit, and the capacitor is allowed to discharge through the resistor. When the switch is in position 1, current flows from the power supply to the circuit, thus charging the capacitor. Consider the series circuit depicted in Figure 1. Capacitors are devices that store electric charge (and therefore energy). The time dependent circuits you will look at in this lab will contain capacitors, resistors and a voltage source. ![]() Generally it is used to display voltage (on the vertical axis) versus time (on the horizontal axis). For circuits where the voltage varies in a rapid way, there is an essential piece of electronic instrumentation that is needed. In this lab, you will study circuits where the current and voltage vary with time. Introduction In the last two labs, you studied circuits where the current and voltage were constants (independent of time). Required background reading Young and Freedman, section 26.4 To study the time dependent behavior of the voltage and current in circuits containing a capacitor, a resistor, and a voltage source (“RC circuits”) To gain familiarity with the operation of two very useful test instruments – the digital oscilloscope and the function generator Physics 2306 Experiment 7: Time-dependent Circuits, Part 1 Objectives Name_ ID number_ Date_ Lab partner_ Lab CRN_ Lab instructor_
