- The voltage source is at a constant level for a long time, which we approximate as infinite. This is the circuit: The voltage drop across the capacitor rises from 0 to ℰ. Note that ℰ is never actually known in the measurement. In fact, the oscilloscope voltage is decalibrated, so that, whatever ℰ is, ℰ is at the top line while zero is at the bottom line. We don't measure voltage levels, but rather 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 the maximum. Kirchhoff's voltage law give: ℰ = IR + Q/C or the following: dQdt=−1RC(Q−EC)dQdt=−1RC(Q−ℰC) The solution for the capacitor voltage is VC(t)=E(1−e−t/RC)VC(t)=ℰ(1−e−t/RC) The voltage is zero at t = 0, t is the rising time, and you have to know when the rising begins.arrow_forwardTwo capacitors with 2.0 F and 3.0 F capacitance, respectively, are connected in parallel and subjected to total potential difference of 100 V.
