Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
When a capacitor is connected with a potential source (AC or DC). It starts to charge
|
|
at a general speed but when a resistor is connected in the circuit with in series to
|
|
a capacitor then the capacitor charges slowly means it will take more time than usual.
|
|
while the capacitor is being charged, the voltage is in exponential function with time.
|
|
|
|
'resistance(ohms) * capacitance(farads)' is called RC-timeconstant which may also be
|
|
represented as τ (tau). By using this RC-timeconstant we can find the voltage at any
|
|
time 't' from the initiation of charging a capacitor with the help of the exponential
|
|
function containing RC. Both at charging and discharging of a capacitor.
