Charge and Discharge Apparatus

Charge And Discharge Apparatus
The Charge and Discharge Apparatus consists of all the components required for monitoring and recording the charging and discharging curves of capacitors. Three components are combined in a single housing and monitor different elements across set points in a circuit.

Features Of The Charge And Discharge Apparatus
Records charging and discharging curves
Includes 12V AC plug-in power supply
Three units: voltage comparator, digital counter and three resistor-capacitors
Suitable for a range of different experiment topics
Monitors the curves across individual points
Pair of sockets for connecting external resistor and external capacitor
Voltage Comparator:

Compares charging and discharging voltages
Sets a comparison voltage
11 different values
Range between 0-10V
Digital Counter:

Monitors the charging and discharging times
Works once the comparison voltage has been attained
