Errors and precautions when discharging a capacitor?

[aoiwy]

Can someone tablet some errors(better with improvement) or precautions when discharging a capacitor?
The experiment aims to investigate the decay curve of charge/current when discharing a capacitor.
Thanks!

Welcome to the PF. I've moved your question from Avanced Physics to Intro Physics.

Tell us more about your experiment. What is the setup, and what kind of measurements will you be making? What kind of things are you expecting to find?
