Capacitors Physics A-Level
The graphs in the diagram show how the charge on a capacitor changes with time when it is charging and discharging. Graphs showing the change of voltage with time are the same shape. Since V = Q/C, it follows that the only difference between a charge–time graph and a voltage–time graph is the label and scale on the y-axis.
CHARGE AND DISCHARGE OF A CAPACITOR
a resistor, the charge flows out of the capacitor and the rate of loss of charge on the capacitor as the charge flows through the resistor is proportional to the voltage, and thus to the total charge present. This can be expressed as : so that (1) R dq dt q C dq dt 1 RC q which has the exponential solution where q qo e qo is the initial charge ...

Discharging a Capacitor. Discharging a capacitor through a resistor proceeds in a similar fashion, as Figure 21.38 illustrates. Initially, the current is I 0 = V 0 R I 0 = V 0 R, driven by the initial voltage V 0 V 0 on the capacitor. As the voltage decreases, the current and hence the rate of discharge decreases, implying another exponential ...
