In this lab, we examine the natural response of a simple RC circuit.
For part a, we disconnected the power supply manually. The capacitor starts discharging within the circuit only containing C and R2.
The time for Vc to drop to 0.368V0 is 0.0484s. t = RC.
For part b, as soon as the power supply is disconnected, the wire is connected back to another loop. The capacitor starts discharging through two resistors in parallel. t = (R1R2)/(R1+R2) * C = 0.015125s.
The experiment agrees with the calculations. But a picture is missing.
