UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO – COLORADO SPRINGS Capacitance Name: Abigail Salberg Objective The purpose of this lab was to determine how the resistance, capacitance and applied voltage affect the charge time, the maximum charge stored on the capacitor and the maximum current in the circuit. In this lab, we also defined capacitance and determined the functioning of a capacitator. Data and Calculations Part I: Measuring Capacitance 1.) Record your DMM data for later comparison. Resistance of 100Ω ‘Block’ as read by the meter = 99.5 Value of 100µF Capacitor as read by the meter = 106.0 µF Value of 330µF Capacitor as read by the meter = 361.0 µF 2.) Paste an example one of your Voltage vs Time graph with all curve-fit information included.

Record a copy of your V C curve-fit information for several trials. 100 µF Capacitor Curve-Fit Data Trial # A Value (V) B Value (s -1 ) 1 2.67 91.3 2 2.67 89.3 3 2.67 88.6 4 2.67 87.0 5 2.67 92.9 Average 2.67 89.82 330 µF Capacitor Curve-Fit Data Trial # A Value (V) B Value (s -1 ) 1 2.67 27.3 2 2.67 27.3 3 2.67 26.7 4 2.67 27.0 5 2.67 27.3 Average 2.67 27.12 Part II: Voltage across the capacitor vs. Voltage across the resistor 1.) Record a copy of your V C and V R curve-fit information for one of the trials. Resistance of 100Ω ‘Block’ as read by the meter = 99.5 Value of 330µF Capacitor as read by the meter = 361.0 µF Curve fit equation for V c = 2.67(1-e^(-27.3(t+0.00190)))-0.00494 Curve fit equation for V R = 2.52e^(-27.3t)+0.002 2.) Attach a copy of your Voltage vs. Time graph with all curve-fit information. Capacitors - 2

Restate important information for this circuit from fitting V C to an inverse exponential. Average value of ‘B’ for 100µF Capacitor = 89.82 s -1 Average value of ‘B’ for 330µF Capacitor = 27.12 s -1 Resistance of 100Ω ‘Block’ as read by meter = 99.5 2.) Explain how the ‘B’ value from the curve-fitting equation relates to the Capacitance and Resistance. Capacitors - 3
