Questions

➀

The time to half-maximum voltage is how long it takes the capacitor to charge halfway. Based on
your experimental results, how long does it take for the capacitor to charge to 75% of its maxi-
mum?

➁

After four “half-lifes” (i.e., time to half-max), to what percentage of the maximum charge is the
capacitor charged?

➂

What is the maximum charge for the capacitor in this experiment?

➃

What are some factors that could account for the percent difference between the stated and
experimental values?
