Question
(a) If the voltage waveform depicted in Fig. 7.41 is applied across the terminals of a 1 μF electrolytic capacitor, graph the resulting current, assuming the passive sign convention. (b) Repeat part (a) if the capacitor is replaced with a 17.5 pF capacitor.

**Figure 7.41 Explanation:**

The graph in Figure 7.41 shows a voltage waveform over time. The vertical axis represents voltage \(v\) in volts (V), and the horizontal axis represents time \(t\) in seconds (s). 

- Initially, the voltage is at 3V at \(t = 0\).
- There is a linear decrease in voltage from 3V to 1.5V between \(t = 0\) and \(t = 3\) seconds.
- From \(t = 3\) to \(t = 6\) seconds, the voltage remains constant at 1.5V.
