MIT 22.071/6.071, Spring 2006, Laboratory11. Pages1–2 use square-wave excitation to identify RC decay and sinusoidal excitation plus oscilloscope observations to compare resistor/capacitor amplitudes and phases. The component values in the linked knowledge article are independently chosen.
Printed p. 1 specifies a 47 nF capacitor, a 1.5 kΩ resistor and 5 V, 1 kHz square-wave excitation for measuring the natural RC response. Page 2 compares sinusoidal capacitor/resistor amplitudes and phases with an oscilloscope. These are the published apparatus values; numerical pulse-threshold examples in the wiki use separately stated illustrative values.
