Electromagnetism

This programming lab is unlike the previous ones in that it involves circuits. Specifically it involves circuits with a battery, a capacitor and one or two resistors.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this lesson students will…

  • Apply Ohm’s law to code a RC circuit so it behaves in a physically accurate way.
  • Evaluate how changing various values of a circuit (Capacitance, resistance) affects the dissipation time of a capacitor.
