5. Discussion And Conclusion Of The Results

It has been able to conduct capacitor charging and discharging using a 5-volt power supply. When a
capacitor is being charged, a multimeter's reading goes from 0 volts to 4.40 volts, which signifies that for
70 seconds, current or voltage is transferred from the power supply (of 5 volts) to the capacitor. The
voltage across the capacitor was observed to be decreasing during the discharging operation, starting at
5V but not quite reaching 0V. The results of the reading were inaccurate for the capacitor's voltage
during the period because we had to take the readings manually.

When a capacitor is discharged using a 1-microfarad capacitor, the capacitor's potential difference (V)
and current (I) decreases with time. The capacitor's voltage acts to push the current, but as it flows, the
capacitor discharges, and the current slows down between 0 to 10 seconds. After 10s, the circuit's
current remains constant (1=0A) throughout the experiment.

When the capacitor is charged using a 3300 micro farad capacitor, the current (I) decreases with an
increase in potential difference (V) with time. It can be concluded We might then conclude that T ∞VI.

Since the experiment's goal was to explore the charging and discharging of a capacitor, it was successful
in that throughout, the voltage kept rising. Since the capacitance and resistance are directly
proportional, an increase in capacitance results in an increase in resistance. After creating the graph, it
was found that the graph representing the capacitor's discharge kept getting smaller over time while the
graph representing its charging kept getting bigger.
