At time t1 a capacitance C is charged to a voltage of V1. Then, the capacitance discharges through a resistance R. Write an expression for the voltage across the capacitance as a function of time for t> t 1 in terms of R, C, V1 and t1.
1. Inquire about the operational and geometric definitions of capacitance C.
[C = = ε0 , please refer to previous lesson on capacitance.]
2. Have the students write down the meaning of each of the symbols present in the above definitions.
For a resistor, what resistance corresponds to a short circuit? For an uncharged capacitor, what value of capacitance corresponds to a short circuit? Explain your answers. Repeat for an open circuit.
