PHY-252 Brooks Lab 5 – Report Table A C = 330 R = 100 t a t b t h t c Measured Theory Measured. Theory t c % diff 1.25s 1.273s 0.023s 0.0228s 0.0332s 0.033s 0.86% Question A1: The values that I got for the table are very close and I would attest the differences to the model’s accuracy. I think theoretical values will never be exactly the same as real experimental values just because there are so many variables, models are not perfect at predicting every situation. Question A2: We set the frequency of the square wave to 0.4Hz because this frequency ensures that the time constant of the circuit is compatible with the period of the square wave, showing how the capacitor charges and discharges each cycle. At higher frequencies the capacitor may not fully charge or discharge before the next cycle begins and with lower frequencies it would lead to longer observation times. Table B C = 330 R = 10k t a t b t h t c Measured. Theory Measured. Theory t c % diff 8.657s 10.946s 2.289s 2.287s 3.302 3.30 0.087 Question B1: The percent difference in this part of the lab is lower than the previous part, and the measured values agree with the theoretical values. The percent difference was lower for the manual method.
