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?
