    1 Interdiction:

    A resistor-capacitor circuit (RC Circuit) is an electrical circuit consisting of passive


    components like resistors and capacitors, driven by the current source or the voltage
    source. The capacitor stores energy and the resistor connected to the circuit control
    the rate of charging or discharging. The charging and the discharging of the
    capacitor is not an instant process but takes some time. If the resistor and capacitor
    are connected in series, the capacitor charges gradually through the resistor, until
    the voltage across the resistor is equal to the supply voltage.

    2Equipment:

    • Function generator with integral AC/DC power


    supply.
    • Universal panel.
    • Digital multimeter.
    • Dual trace oscilloscope Inc.
    • Capacitor 0.1μF.
    • Resistors 100 ohm.
    • Cables, jumpers.
    . Connect the function generator to the resistor (R
    =100ohm) and capacitor (C = 0.1) in a series circuit.

    using oscilloscope and voltage Vp-p=3V,and frequency


    of 50Hz.
    Oscilloscope:
    Y access:0.5v/div
    X access (Time base): 2msec/div
    display the wave form of the voltage at the capacitor:
    ,short circuit one of the 10 ohm:

    . Discussion:

    The curves become sharper as the product of R.C is


    decreased. The capacitor is charged in less time. The
    curves become flatter as the product of R.C is raised.
    The capacitor will take longer to fully charge.
    Conclusions:

    • Capacitors are devices that store electric charge.


    • The rate of change in capacitor voltage reduces
    exponentially when capacitors are charged using a
    voltage source in series with a resistor.
    • The RC product, also known as the time constant
    (τ), is used to describe RC circuits.
    • The voltage across the capacitor is zero at (t = 0),
    shipping is quick at first but subsequently slows
    down, and the transient concludes when the
    voltage across the capacitor equals the applied
    voltage.
    • The time it takes for a capacitor to fully charge is
    widely understood to be five time constants (5τ).
