A blank graph to plot your measurements. Use Table 4.3 shown<br />

Table 4.4 and Figure 4.9 show the results of our second experiment<br />

(yours should be similar) which shows that although<br />

the curves of the two circuits aren’t exactly the same as far as<br />

the time axis is concerned, they are exactly the same shape.<br />

Interesting, huh?<br />

This proves that the rising voltage across a capacitor follows<br />

some sort of law. It is an exponential law, and the curves you<br />
