• Instructions & Expectations: Listen and take notes in your Interactive Lab Book. If needed review the posted slide presentation.  
• Use the recorded data from yesterday to verify that the equation t=RC is correct 
• Build the circuit with 2 different time constants.  How long it takes to charge from 0 to 5v. 
• Does this match the calculated t=RC results
