DC Chapter 16: RC and L/R Time Constants – ElectronX Lab

The capacitor voltage''s approach to 15 volts and the current''s approach to zero over time is what a mathematician would call asymptotic: that is, they both approach their final values, getting closer and closer over time, but never exactly reaches their destinations. For all practical purposes, though, we can say that the capacitor voltage will eventually reach 15 volts and that the ...

Finding the constraint equation of a circuit with a dependent voltage

The equation at v1 is not a KCL equation, it''s a constraint equation; it is just this: v1 = 10 The second (v2) equation is a genuine KCL equation and can be seen in the image which follows. The third (v3) equation is another constraint equation: v3 = -20*IΔ, where IΔ is just the sum of the currents in the 10 ohm and 30 ohm resistors.

B8: Capacitors, Dielectrics, and Energy in Capacitors

Moving charge from one initially-neutral capacitor plate to the other is called charging the capacitor. When you charge a capacitor, you are storing energy in that capacitor. Providing a conducting path for the charge to go back to the plate it came from is called discharging the capacitor. If you discharge the capacitor through an electric ...

Introduction to Capacitors, Capacitance and Charge

By applying a voltage to a capacitor and measuring the charge on the plates, the ratio of the charge Q to the voltage V will give the capacitance value of the capacitor and is therefore given as: C = Q/V this equation can also be re-arranged to give the familiar formula for the quantity of charge on the plates as: Q = C x V

RC time constant

The RC time constant, denoted τ (lowercase tau), the time constant (in seconds) of a resistor–capacitor circuit (RC circuit), is equal to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (in farads): It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, from an initial charge voltage of zero to approximately 63.2% of the value of an applied DC voltage
