About this document

RC Time Constant Experiment Guide by Domingo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes an experiment on measuring the time constant of an RC circuit. It provides background on RC circuits and the exponential behavior of the capacitor voltage as it charges over time. The experiment instructions have students: [1] Construct an RC circuit and measure the initial current; [2] Record the capacitor voltage every 15 seconds as it charges for 5 time constants; [3] Graph the resistor and capacitor voltages over time. The goals are to observe and analyze the exponential charging
