Capacitor Discharge Formula Rc. Hence 5𝜏 5 x 47s 235s. Where voltage across the resistor is different and represented by the following formula.
Compare this to the radioactive decay equation. We have read the graph above that we need 5𝜏 to charge the capacitor fully. The formula for capacitor voltage is vc v 1 e t rc.
We can show that ohms farads are seconds.
The formula for capacitor voltage is vc v 1 e t rc. Hence 5𝜏 5 x 47s 235s. The formula for capacitor voltage is vc v 1 e t rc. Capacitor discharge charge decay.
