R-C Circuits

We put a capacitor in the circuit to see what would happen. The bulb would light up and gradually go out.

Our group and the group across form us put our capacitors in parallel in the same circuit to see what would happen.

Then we measured the voltage between the two capacitors.

The electric potential has a exponential relationship with time. As one capacitor is gaining electric potential, the other is losing electric potential.

A current was put into the capacitor to see what would happen.

We mostly did calculations with capacitors in R-C circuits using Kirchhoff's rules and we did some experiments with capacitors in circuits to see how they affect them and what relationships there are. There was also some fun with overcharging a capacitor.
