PIRA Classification: 5F30.60
Description: A neon lamp is placed in parallel with a capacitor in a series RC circuit. The neon lamp fires at approximately 80 V and will cause the capacitor to charge and discharge at a given rate. If desired, a scope can be used to trace the voltage across the capacitor.
Special Instructions: The resistance is variable so the period of the circuit can be changed.
Condition: Good
Setup time: 2 minutes
