Ex. 252. The average capacitor discharge current in Figure 252 is a constant 9.42 pA for a 0.507 uF film capacitor. Assume a different film capacitor C=0.3580 uF results in a different discharge current given by y=-0.08840x + 5.0. Calculate the discharge current (amps) for this different capacitor. If the Arduino was like a 10M Ohm voltmeter, the cap would discharge very quickly. Calculate the time (seconds) to discharge 98.2%, which is four time constants. tau=R*C. ans: 2
