Thought Experiment: Explain what is physically happening to the charge in the RC circuit during charging and discharging cycles (i.e. Why does the capacitor charge/discharge quickly at first but slows down with more time? Where is the charge going?). In the DC Electrical Circuits lab, we used the analogy of water flowing through a pipe to visualize Ohm's law can you extend that analogy to the RC circuit? *

Part A Charging of RC Circuit 1) Construct a RC circuit (series) with a capacitor, a resistor, a battery, two switches, and appropriate meters that will enable you to make measurements of the parameters for charging up the capacitor. The placement of the switches allows you to measure both charging and discharging of the RC circuit.
