Demonstrate the voltages and currents in parallel and series circuits.
This demo is designed for use on an overhead projector.
RC Time Constant
RC Time Constant
Principles Illustrated: Time Constant of RC Circuit
Location: Cabinet F, Shelf 4
A capacitor bank is wired in series with a light bulb. A switch is used to charge and discharge the circuit. The bulb dims as the circuit goes through the RC time constant.
The demonstration DMM can be used in place of the bulb for more accurate information due to the performance characteristics of the bulb.
Additionally, a separate demonstration uses a function generator to demonstrate charging and discharging of an RC circuit. The resulting voltage signature may be viewed on an oscilloscope and displayed over the document cam.
