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
Ω
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.
P E S 2 1 5 0 - P H Y S I C S L A B O R A T O R Y I I
3.)
Record a copy of your V
C
curve-fit information for several trials.
