Charging and discharging a capacitor

Product No: P1373560

Principle

Capacitors are devices that can store charge. Here the details of how the charge gets in and out of the capacitor is looked at.

Tasks

Examine the behaviour of the voltage and current of a capacitor during the charging and discharging processes. Determine what the speed of these processes depends on.
