If I am trying to figure out how much current will pass through a capacitor given a resistor in parallel for some particular point in time.

Sorry the battery provides a voltage E (i.e. 24V) to both the effective resistor and capacitor -- i.e. theoretically both the resistor and capacitor should have the same potential. Kirchoff's law says it should be 24V, but other analysis says 0V. I am confused. (also the two-resistor...

(another problem but less differential equations-sy) Consider a circuit where there is an effective resistor in parallel with an effective capacitor. Each effective capacitor consists of two capacitors in series, same for the resistor. Now, when the capacitors are uncharged, all the...

Okay every time they talk about Kirchoff's law for an RC circuit, I only see the example for a single resistor in series with a capacitor -- much too simple OR multiple capacitors with multiple batteries and inductors and everything with a whole mess of equations -- much too complex. where are...

There has to be a value describing the resistance of a capacitor in a DC circuit, because if it's connected in parallel to a resistor, that resistance describes how much current is flowing through the resistor (as opposed to charging the capacitor). I'm trying to analyse it as a current...

I am trying obtain some equations for an RC circuit that has a resistor R1 after a battery, which then splits into a capacitor C and a resistor R2 (the circuit closes after this point). When I try to seek help online, the resources are quite unhelpful. I cannot seem for example, obtain any...
