Method

Charging Capacitor (increase of voltage with time) through charging simulator

Learning Objectives (ILO’s)

  • By the end of the Charging Capacitor Circuit Simulator, the student should be able to:

  • See the benefits of using the capacitor and what is the capacitance of the capacitor in RC circuit virtual lab.
  • Recognize the variation of charging voltage with time depends on capacitance and resistance by using RC circuit online simulator.
  • Calculate the capacitance capacitor and time constant. Also, analyze the behavior of a simulation circuit RC through the Charging Capacitor Circuit Simulator.

Theoretical Background/Context

  • A capacitor is a device that stores electric energy in an electric field form. A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a small distance. 
  • When the conductors are connected to a charging device (for example, a battery), the charge is transferred from one conductor to the other until the difference in potential between the conductors becomes equal to the potential difference between the terminals of the charging device.
  •  The amount of charge stored on either conductor is directly proportional to the voltage, and the constant of proportionality is known as the capacitance.

Principle Work of Charging Capacitor Circuit Simulator

At rc circuit simulator online,  the When we turn on the battery in the charging capacitor circuit and turn off the switch key, the capacitor starts charging, with a stopwatch recording the value of volt every 10 seconds starting from zero volts until reaching its maximum voltage (V0) during the charging capacitor experiment process using rc circuit lab simulation and rc circuit virtual lab.
