At the Italian workshop we were separated into 2 groups so as not to be too crowded. He showed how a capacitor worked, so we connected a battery to which iron wires were taped to the + and – sides, which we previously stripped to be able to connect crocodile clips and the free ends were inserted on the Breadboard, one in the positive and one in the negative. We then on the Breadboard inserted a capacitor and

resistors then on excel we took measurements every 10 seconds until we reached 1500 V (which was very long) then we disconnected a wire which caused the voltage to drop and then we took new measurements again. After that on Excel, we have used our measurements as a graph and we could well see that at the beginning the curve is increasing then that it decreases.

This curve varies depending on the capacity of the capacitor, rated in uFarad. To see this variation, we have realized this experience with two capacitors, first with a capacity of 1000 uF and the second with a capacity of 2200 uF. We have found that while the capacity has doubled, the time of charge does the same. Moreover, the time of charge and the time of discharge are the same.
