Abstract

Researchers were continuously working towards trade-off solutions to know the relationship between charge, voltage and current with time during charging and discharging of capacitor. But knowing the characteristics of charge, voltage and current during charging and discharging of capacitor using smaller values of capacitor is becoming increasingly challenging. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the behavior of voltage, current and charge during charging and discharging of capacitor by using smaller values of capacitors. In this paper the behavior of voltage, current and charge during charging and discharging capacitor was investigated experimentally. The experiment was done by using Electrolytic capacitor (100µF) and resistor (1MΩ). The graph was plotted by using origin soft ware. As the experimental result shows that, during charging capacitor at (t = 0) the voltage and charge are zero, and it increase exponentially with time. But current decrease exponentially. Whereas during discharging capacitor at (t = 0) the voltage and charge are maximum, it decreases exponentially with time. But current decrease exponentially. This shows that the experimental result match’s with theoretical result. This work will support science students and researchers to know the detail knowledge about the relationship about voltage, current and charge with time even if the capacitor value is small.
