RC Circuit
In this preliminary RC circuit experiment, a RC circuit was assembled with a charging button that could connect the power and a discharging button that could short-circuit the power source. Then, two different capacitors as well as 7 resistors with different resistance were used to change the time constant. Using python, voltage data across the capacitor were collected to find the relation between voltage of a specific time and the time constant.
The device was manually controlled by two buttons for charging and discharging. Six sets of data were collected, each with a different capacitor or resistor. Each set contains 10 charging periods and 10 discharging periods. Then 2 charging and dischargin
