Capacitor Charge and Discharge

This is a realistic 3d simulation of an experiment to plot the relationship between time and the voltage for a capacitor that is charging or discharging.

A capacitor is an electronic component that can store a certain amount of charge.  It has a value called its capacitance measured in Farads (which is a really huge unit, we normally deal with micro Farads or even pico Farads).  The circuit can be configured to either charge or discharge the capacitor, in both cases the voltage and current can be monitored.

The user has control over the power supply and the charge/discharge switch. The user is free to move anywhere within the laboratory in order to interact with the apparatus.
