Ok my school did not have an accurate oscilloscope so I am using logger pro to collect my data. I set it to collect 6 seconds and it takes samples every 100 milliseconds while the capacitor discharges. Is it possible that since many wires are involved their is some stray capacitance that is...
This is a simpler issue but I need some help nonetheless. I have been carrying out an investigation on how the dielectric size of a capacitor affects its time constant. In theory the larger the dielectric the smaller the capacitance and therefore the smaller the time constant. However although I...
