V = Ve/RC (discharging). (21.80) capacitor Von V - 0.368V. 0 T= RC 2r 3r 4r Switch (a) (b) Figure 21.39 (a) Closing the switch discharges the capacitor C through the resistor R . Mutual repulsion of like charges on each plate drives the current. (b) A graph of voltage across the capacitor versus time, with V = Vo at t = 0. The voltage decreases exponentially, falling a fixed fraction of the way to zero in each subsequent time constant t.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
When discharging a capacitor, as discussed in conjunction shown, how long does it take for the voltage on the capacitor to reach zero? Is this a problem?
