Describe in a paragraph how a capacitor charges and discharges through a resistor as a function of time.
The rather simple circuit shown below is known as a voltage divider. The symbol consisting of three
horizontal lines is represents "ground" and can be defined as the point where the potential is zero. The
voltage divider is widely used in circuits and a single voltage source can be used to provide reduced voltage
to a load resistor as shown in the second part of the figure.
