Charging and Decharging of a capacitor

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.

Benefits

• Flexible experimenting thanks to wireless data transmission
• No additional cable connections between the building blocks needed - clear arranged and quick setup
• Contact safety due to puzzle blocks system
• Corrosion-free gold plated contacts
• Doubled earning success: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components from below

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.
