Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
During the transient response of an RC circuit, what is the behavior of the voltage across the capacitor?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that an RC circuit consists of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected in series.
Step 2: When the circuit is powered on, the capacitor starts charging.
Step 3: The voltage across the capacitor does not increase instantly; it takes time to charge.
Step 4: The charging of the capacitor follows an exponential curve.
Step 5: Initially, the voltage across the capacitor is 0 volts.
Step 6: As time passes, the voltage across the capacitor increases gradually.
Step 7: Eventually, the voltage will approach the supply voltage (the voltage of the power source).
Step 8: The time it takes to charge to about 63% of the supply voltage is called the time constant (τ = R × C).
Step 9: After a long time, the voltage across the capacitor will be equal to the supply voltage.
Transient Response in RC Circuits
– The behavior of voltage across a capacitor during charging or discharging in an RC circuit.
Exponential Growth
– The mathematical nature of how voltage changes over time in response to a step input.
Steady State
– The final voltage level the capacitor reaches after the transient response is complete.
