Lab 11 - AC Circuit Capacitor

For this lab, Professor Mason hooked up a circuit into a digital oscilloscope to give a visualization of how AC voltage behaves with a capacitor.
Initial sine Wave

Sine wave change as frequency increases

The capacitor that was used in the circuit was about 3.4µF.  The graph shows that as frequency increases, the voltage across the capacitor is decreasing.

(Note: Do not know how to do the calculation to obtain the capacitor, will add later when I figure it out.  The value put is what Professor Mason set the capacitor at for the circuit)
