E xplain why a capacitor is considered fully charged at the end of 5 time constants . C alculate the amount of voltage on a capacitor after it has charged a given number of time constants. E xplain the meaning of instantaneous capacitor voltage . D escribe each of the terms in the equation for determining the instantaneous capacitor-charging voltage in an RC circuit.
C alculate the instantaneous capacitor charge voltage .
D escribe each of the terms in the equation for determining the instantaneous capacitor-charging current in an RC circuit. C alculate the instantaneous capacitor charge current . D escribe the curves for instantaneous resistor voltage and current in a capacitor-charging circuit. When the capacitor is first connected to the DC source, the voltage across the capacitor increases rapidly. The rate of increase then slows considerably as the capacitor voltage reaches the source voltage level.
