The results of our experiments<br />

What you should note in your experiment is that the voltage<br />

across the capacitor (any capacitor, in fact) rises, not<br />

instantaneously as with the voltage across a resistor, but<br />

gradually, following a curve. Is the curve the same, do you<br />

think, for all capacitors? Change the capacitor for one with a<br />

value of 220 µF (about half the previous one). Using the blank<br />

table of Table 4.3 and blank graph in Figure 4.8, perform the<br />

experiment again, to find out.<br />
