1 | Equilibration of voltages in two capacitors |
Description | Two capacitors, a resistor, and a switch are put in a single circuit. The capacitors are charged to different voltages, the switch is closed, and the voltages are recorded as functions of time. |

2 | Two communicating capacitors and an additional resistor |
Description | Two capacitors are connected by a resistor. There is an additional resistor in series to one of the capacitors. Voltages across both capacitors are measured. |

3 | Driving charge apart with a battery |
Description | A battery is placed with two capacitors and a resistor in a single circuit. The capacitors are uncharged initially. The circuit is closed, and the voltages across the capacitors are measured as functions of time. |

4 | Charging and discharging a single capacitor |
Description | A capacitor is charged and then discharged through resistors. The voltage across the capacitor is measured as a function of time. The voltmeter adds to the dynamics of the circuit. |
