Use the nominal values of R and C to find the calculated time constant (τ=RC). Determine the tolerance of the 1kΩ resistor located in the electric component box by reading the resistor color code. Use the capacitor tolerance given in the equipment list. Determine the (asymmetric) tolerance of the calculated time constant, i.e. consider the maximum and minimum calculated values of τ separately. Compare the measured time constant to the calculated time constant. Does the measured time constant lie within the tolerance of the calculated time constant? We have previously discussed that nominal and actual values of electronic component properties usually don't quite agree. Find the measured value of the capacitance from the time constant found in step 7 and a multimeter measurement of the actual value of the resistor you used in the circuit. Compare the result to the nominal value of the capacitance; are the two values consistent within the nominal value's tolerance?
