Question
  1. Explain in words why the circuit in figure 6 charges the capacitor, while the circuit in figure 7 discharges the capacitor. Remember, current only flows in closed loops!

2. How can a linear fit be used to measure the capacitance C for both charging and discharging a capacitor given the capacitor voltage V(t) at different times? Take a natural logarithm of both sides of the voltage equations V(t) (Refer to Graphical Presentation of Exponential Decay Section).
