Charging and Discharging of a Condenser
Product Code : JA-AET-1469
The capacitor charging and discharging trainer is used to plot voltage and current against time while a condenser charges and discharges, and to find the time constant from each graph. It has a 0-20 V DC, 25 mA continuously variable regulated supply, four electrolytic condensers and three SPDT switches (SKU JA-AET-1469).

Graphs plotted
The listed experiments determine the time constant from:
- Voltage across the condenser against time while charging
- Charging current against time
- Voltage across the condenser against time while discharging
- Discharge current against time
