Re: Capacitor

There are virtually hundreds of sites that describe charge and discharge of caps ..

Do search on GOOGLE ..

Here is one example:

Hi

For understanding charging of capacitor, refer to:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/capchg.html

And for understanding dis-charging of capacitor, refer to:

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/capdis.html

Re: Capacitor

hi

the capacitor charges or discharges according to the following equation.

Ic = C dv/dt

Ic is the current flowing through the capacitor.
C is the capacitance.
v is the instantaneous voltage across the capacitor.

Re: Capacitor

using the dilectric in the capacitor , it gets charged and discharged....

Capacitor

capacitor chargers when you apply voltage across it and discharges when you remove supply voltage.
