week 8 1st order circuits.

We began the day with a guess to what a capacitor circuit looks like as it discharges.

Here is a derivation of 5 time constants to get to 1%.

 Here we derived power and energy equation for first order circuit.

 Here we found the voltage and current with v(0)=10 and tau = 5 time constants.

We then found the frequency to a period of this time signal.

Then we found the time for this RC Circuit.

In this experiment we observed the behavior of a time signal when we removed a wire and reattached it manually.  We also did this with the analog discovery using waveforms.

A schematic of the circuit implemented shown below.

A Picture of the experiment using the waveforms program without manually removing the wire.

Our results for the inductor lab.
