Investigating The Effect Of Resistance On A Capacitor Circuit Aim: to see what affects the rate of discharge on a capacitor. PLANNING Hypotheses: 1) The bigger the capacitance, the longer amount of time it will take for the capacitor to discharge through a resistor. 2) The bigger the resistance, the longer amount of time it will take for the capacitor to discharge. Therefore I expect that capacitance is directly proportional to the rate of capacitor discharge and also that resistance is directly proportional to the time taken to discharge a capacitor Capacitors and Capacitance: A capacitor is an electrical device that can store energy in the electric field between a pair of closely spaced conductors or plates which are separated by an insulator. When voltage is applied to the capacitor, electric charges of equal magnitude, but opposite polarity, build up on each plate. The larger the capacitance the more charge it can store. Capacitace is...
