Parallel Rc Circuit Transient Response. Note the use of a voltage source rather than a fixed current source as examined earlier. In many applications these circuits respond to a sudden change in an input.

If a capacitor has energy stored within it then that energy can be dissipated absorbed by a resistor.
The response of a circuit containing resistances inductances capacitors and switches due to sudden application of voltage or current is called transient response.

For example a switch opening or closing or a digital input switching from low to high.
