| In this activity, you will charge and discharge a capacitor using a battery box and observe the currents involved and the energy change.
In Experiment 1, you will use a milliammeter to detect the current during the charging and discharging processes.
In Experiment 2, you will study the charging and discharging currents on both sides of the capacitor using two center-zero milliammeters to find out if there is any difference.
In Experiment 3, you will charge a capacitor and then discharge it through a motor. You will study how the motor behaves when it is driven by a cell and a charged capacitor.
In Experiment 4, you will measure the voltage across a charged capacitor using a moving coil voltmeter.
In Experiment 5, you will measure the voltage across a charged capacitor. However, unlike Experiment 4, you will use an oscilloscope instead. |
