Capacitor Charging Discharging – Paper Circuit Project

Capacitor Charging Discharging – Paper Circuit Project Abstract: The Capacitor Charging and Discharging System is a simple educational electronics model designed using paper circuit technology to demonstrate the basic behavior of a capacitor in an electrical circuit. The project visually explains how a capacitor stores electrical energy during charging and releases energy during discharging. In this model, a capacitor is connected with a resistor and LED. When the power supply is switched ON, the capacitor gradually charges, causing the LED to glow slowly. When the power supply is switched OFF, the capacitor discharges through the circuit, keeping the LED ON for a short duration before turning OFF. This slow glow and fade effect helps students clearly understand time constant (RC circuit) concepts. The use of copper wire on paper instead of a PCB makes the project low-cost, safe, and easy to assemble without soldering. This project is ideal for basic electronics learning, physics practical demonstrations, and science exhibitions. Package Includes: 1 Piece – Capacitor Charging Discharging (Working Project Without Battery) Note: Project Image only Illustration Purpose. The project may be the same or maybe an improved Version. We only provide batteries when students pick up their projects from our lab. Batteries aren’t included in shipped orders because our shipping partner doesn’t allow them.
