PART A:

1. You are provided with the following
   • A voltmeter
   • A milliammeter
   • A capacitor  C
   • A switch
   • A stop watch
   • Five connecting wires
   • Two dry cells and a cell holder
   • A carbon resistor labeled R  (4.7kΩ)
   • Set up the circuit as in fig.3 below. S and T are crocodile clips.
     
     
     1. Charge the capacitor C by connecting the crocodile clip to S. Record the reading of the voltmeter,V.
        V = ……………………………………….                                                             (1mk)
     2. Calculate the value of the current I₀, given that I₀=    , where R = 4700Ω        (2mks)
2. 1. Discharge the capacitor by disconnecting the crocodile clip from S and connecting it to T. Observe and record  the highest reading of the milliameter I₁. (this is the current  at t₀=0).
      (you may have to repeat the process to obtain an accurate value.)
      I₁=……………………………………….                                                               (1mk)
   2. Recharge the capacitor by connecting the crocodile clip to S.
   3. Discharge the capacitor and at the same time,start the stop watch to measure the time t₁, taken  for  the current to decrease to half the value of I₁    ie    I_1,;
