H Exp – Electricity and Electronics 10 – Charge and potential difference for a capacitor

Aim – To investigate the relationship between the voltage across a capacitor and the charge stored on its plates.

Instructions

The capacitor is initially fully charged.

▪ Note the voltage across the capacitor.
▪ Discharge the capacitor through the coulomb meter and note the charge that was stored on the plates of the capacitor.
▪ Repeat for other charging voltages.
▪ Use an appropriate format to show the relationship between charge and voltage.
