physics cbse 12th project to study the charging and discharging of capacitor in rc circuit
Abstract: The aim of this project is to investigate the process of charging and discharging of a capacitor in an RC
(Resistor-Capacitor) circuit. The project involves the experimental study of the voltage-time relationship during
the charging and discharging processes. Additionally, the project explores the mathematical models that describe
these processes and examines the factors affecting the charging and discharging time constants.
Introduction: A capacitor is an electronic component that stores electric charge. When a capacitor is connected to
a voltage source through a resistor, it undergoes a charging process where it accumulates charge. Subsequently,
when the voltage source is disconnected, the capacitor discharges through the resistor. The RC circuit is a
common configuration that demonstrates these charging and discharging phenomena.

Conclusion: Through this project, we have successfully studied the charging and discharging processes of a
capacitor in an RC circuit. By analyzing the obtained data and comparing it with theoretical calculations, we can
conclude that the experimental results align well with the expected behavior. The project also highlights the
impact of resistance on the charging and discharging time constants, providing insights into the practical
applications of capacitors in electronic circuits.
