Capacitor (Charging and Discharging)
.jpg)
Product Code : JL-GLE-11261
The Capacitor (Charging and Discharging) set, SKU JL-GLE-11261, is a JaincoLab capacitor charging and discharging apparatus for RC-circuit practicals. A 1000 microfarad electrolytic capacitor is charged from a 0-20 V DC, 1 A supply through a 10 kilohm or 100 kilohm resistor on a socket board, and the multimeter follows the voltage as it charges and then discharges. Swapping the resistor shows how the time constant changes. Six pairs of red and black leads connect the circuit.
