Edexcel A-Level Physics Capacitor Practical Circuits

Practise Edexcel A-Level Physics capacitor practical circuits by designing charging and discharging setups with voltage measurement.

Exam points

draw capacitor circuits with a switch, discharge path and voltage measurement across the capacitor

[Maximum number: 3]

Two identical capacitors were connected in series and charged. They were then discharged through a resistor and ammeter.
A student investigated how the current in the resistor varied as the capacitors discharged.

Draw an appropriate circuit diagram for this investigation.
