Question

In this lab, you will be revisiting the series RC circuit that you studied in Lab 7: Time Dependent Circuits, Part 1. In that lab, you constructed a series RC circuit that contained a 560 ?resistor and a 1 ?F capacitor
a)What is the RC time constant for this circuit?
b) If the function generator driving the RC circuit is set to output a square wave at a frequency of 200 Hz, what is the period of the signal? What is the period of a signal at a frequency of 2000 Hz?
c) How many RC time constants elapse during the time that the capacitor is charging when a 200 Hz square wave is applied to the circuit? (Remember that the capacitor is only charging during half of the square wave period; the charge is decaying away during the other half of the period.)

Explanation / Answer

a) time constant=R*C=560micro sec

b)period=1/frequency=5 mili sec

c)half period/ time constant= 4.46 time constant
