Q1
If a capacitor discharges through a resistor, what is the formula for the voltage across the capacitor at time t?
V(t) = V0 * e^(-t/RC)
V(t) = V0 * (1 - e^(-t/RC))
V(t) = V0 * t/RC
V(t) = V0 * e^(t/RC)
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
If a capacitor discharges through a resistor, what is the formula for the voltage across the capacitor at time t?
Capacitor Discharge – The process by which a capacitor releases its stored electrical energy through a resistor, resulting in a decrease in voltage over time.
Exponential Decay – The mathematical behavior of the voltage across the capacitor, which decreases exponentially as time progresses.
Time Constant (RC) – The product of resistance (R) and capacitance (C), which determines the rate of voltage decay in the circuit.
