Question

The following data was collected in a lab where a 1000 uF capacitor was discharged using a 3 volt power supply. The capacitor was in series with a resistor of unknown value.

a. Draw an RC circuit diagram where a capacitor can be charged and discharged in the same circuit using a
single pole double throw switch.
b. Construct a graph of showing the discharge curve of the capacitor’s voltage with time using the data
below.
c. Linearize the data below to construct a straight line with a constant slope.
d. The graphs should be labeled and titled. The axes should be labeled with appropriate units.
e. Using the the linearized data calculate the time constant for the RC circuit.
f. Calculate the value of the unknown resistor.
g. Show that the capacitor is nearly discharged after 5 time constants.
