Capacitor Charge and Discharge
Note: If you are using the Xplorer GLX for this example, you must use it connected to a computer
with DataStudio.
Create the circuit pictured (right). Use a battery such as a “AA” cell and a capacitor
such as PASCO part SE-8626.
Enter this equation in the Calculator:
outputstate(1,1, or(and(V<1, derivative(2,V)>0), V <0.5))
Define V as the voltage measured by the voltage sensor.
Start data collection. The capacitor will start charging. When V reaches 1 volt, it will
start discharging. When V has decreased to 0.5 volt, it will start charging again and
repeat the cycle.
