Capacitors II (Update)


In both of these pictures we can see use a multi-meter to measure the capacitance of the two capacitors together and individual. We see that we capacitors in a series is not like resistors in a series. Below we see how capacitors act in series and parallel.


In a Parallel circuit capacitors are added up. In a series the inverse of the capacitors are added up and that is the series.


Here we have the first calculation with capacitors volts = q/v. This will be a concept that i will need to remember.


This is what we see happens to the charge and discharge. This is where we will find the time constant of t/RC.


I like this question but switch makes this difficult to remember what happens when things are connected.





This was our charge and discharge time graph for the two capacitors.
