In the data table, calculate the time constant of the circuit used; that is, the product of resistance in ohms and capacitance in farads. Note: 10 F = 1 s 2. Calculate and enter in the data table the inverse of the fit constant C for each trial. Now compare each of these values to the time constant of your circuit. Discharge 1: Experimental value 1/c=0.889. Expected value RC=1 Percentage difference= 11.1% Discharge 2: Experimental value 1/c=0.452. Expected value RC=0.47 Percentage difference= 1.8% The fit is a Positive Natural exponential Function. In exponential functions (y = e*), the bigger the x. the faster the growth of y. Similarly, in positive exponential functions, the more positive the exponent -x, the slower the y approaches zero. 3. What was the effect of reducing the resistance of the resistor on the way the capacitor discharged?The experiment shows that the size of lfc value determines how the capacitor discharges E because lfc=RC in equation Vt = VacE- Therefore, this indicates that the capacitor in Discharge 2 will discharge faster because Resistor l which is IDDDDD 51 was replaced by Resistor 2 which is 47"000 52 that makes the Foduct RC smaller.
