Set up this circuit and observe the current flow. mA mA Set up this circuit and observe the current flow. Describe it as fully as you can.

What should you have observed? Current starts high and ends low (0) Current reduces rapidly to begin with Current reduces more slowly as time goes on So… Current discharge from a capacitor is Exponential

R V C mA mA Use a voltmeter to investigate the relationship between R or C and the ‘half life’ of the voltage
