Type of activity: demo
Activity code:  00000

Courses


Description:

Connect a 6V1W bulb and battery to the supercapacitors as shown in the diagram below and observe the charge/discharge behaviour of the capacitors.

The brightness of the light bulb measures the current flowing through the circuit.

Apparatus

Supercapacitor (1.0F)
Supercapacitor (0.47F)
