The voltage across the capacitor in the in dc and the RC circuits.
Answer to Problem 1ASA
The voltage across the capacitor in the dc is charged up to the supply voltage until it is discharged from the resistor and voltage across the capacitor in the
Explanation of Solution
The RC circuit is the circuit that contains resistor as well as the capacitor, the capacitor stores the charge an is an electrical component. When the switch is closed in the circuit, the charge increases on the capacitor plate. The charge that is attained by the capacitor is proportional to the applied voltage across it. In the RC circuits, when the battery is connected that is switched on then the charging of the capacitor depends upon the applied voltage.
Write the expression for the voltage across the capacitor.
Here,
The voltage here opposes the battery when the emf goes from zero to maxium value.
In the dc circuit, when there is both resistor and the capacitor, the voltage and the current change with time, the capacitor is charged upto its supply voltage, but in dc it blocks the current through it that is because of the dielectric of the capacitor is insulator that is non
Conclusion:
Thus, the voltage across the capacitor in the dc is charged up to the supply voltage until it is discharged from the resistor and voltage across the capacitor in the

- In this chapter, most examples and problems involved direct current (DC). DC circuits have the current flowing in one direction, from positive to negative. When the current was changing, it was changed linearly from I=ImaxtoI=+Imax and the voltage changed linearly from V=Vmax to V=+Vmax where Vmax=ImaxR .Suppose a voltage source is placed in series with a resistor of R = 10 that supplied a current that alternated as a sine wave, for example, I(t)=(3.00A)sin(24.00st) .
