2. Negative

3. Series Set up this RC Circuit.
Use the Ammeters to determine how the circuit behaves in diagram 1) versus 2). 2 A
5 V V
1 F
First this, A
1 F
5 V 1 2 1) 1
1 F 2 A V
then this. 2)
Write a paragraph in your lab book that clearly describes these behaviors.
Be sure the negative terminal on the power supply is connected to the negative terminal on the capacitor.

4. Use the Ammeters to determine how the circuit behaves:
Set up this RC Circuit.
Use the Ammeters to determine how the circuit behaves:
The instant the switch is first closed.
After the switch has been closed for some time.
The switch is now reopened.

5 V
Write a paragraph in your lab book that clearly describes these behaviors.
