dis charging Capacitor

Charge or cap tmet:

C ++

#

R.

Q (+) . = Q.C-+/T

Q = initial Charge

T : Rc (Time Constant)

Capacitor voltage :

AVECt) = QCE) = Q.e t/T

C

AVc(H). A v.et/r

Current : I due to charge leaving cap

I - do = Q.et/T

at

experimental deray

Ex: start with Qo= I NC on capacator in Re.

W/ R= 1s , , C= I NF How long for Q(+)

Fandamental charge !
