I would like to express deep gratitude to my
project guide Mr. ARNAV SAHA for guiding
me immensely through the course of the
project. He always evinced keen interest in
my project. His constructive advice & constant
motivation have been responsible for the
successful completion of this project.
Key Idea :-
You can leverage the time constant of the
circuit, which is determined by τ = RC,
where R is the resistanceand C is the
capacitance. Without using a stopwatch,
you can simply observe the exponential
nature of the voltage change across the
capacitor by observing the LED or lamp
brightness,which gives you a qualitative
understanding of the capacitor's charging
and discharging.
Apparatus Required :-
1 capacitor
1 resistor
1 battery
1 switch
1 LED or small lamp
Connecting wires
BASIC CONCEPTS:-
The time constant τ=RC defines the rate of
charging and discharging. The capacitor
voltage will change exponentially overtime,
and you can make qualitative observations
at specific moments based on the behaviour
of the LED or lamp, which serves as a visual
inductor of the voltage across the capacitor.
