Principle
The experiment uses a voltage sensor to investigate the charging and discharging process of an electrolytic capacitor over time. A changeover switch is used to switch the electrolytic capacitor and a resistor back and forth between a circuit with a power supply unit (charging process) and without a power supply unit (discharging process).
Tasks
Investigate the voltage curve of the electrolytic capacitor over time during the charging and discharging process.
Learning objectives
The aim of this experiment is to investigate and understand the voltage curve of the electrolytic capacitor over time during the charging and discharging process.
