cheers i just calculated it and got 7.77x10^-4
Also calculating current after discharge. So Vs being voltage after capacitor has discharged or initial voltage before its discharged?
thank you
Sorry I never mentioned them.
R=100kOhm
C=100uF
By any chance would anyone know the equation for current during capacitor discharge.
I found this equation in my research but does not seem right at all!
i=Vse^-t/CR
Tells me during capacitor discharge i=15A :eek: Baring in...
Ive been plugging at the equation again but I've seemed to end up with this as a final.
from Vc=Vs(1-e^-t/CR)
to Vc/Vs=1-e^-t/CR
to ln(1-Vc/Vs) = ln(e^-t/CR)
to ln(1-Vc/Vs)=(-t/CR)
CRln(1-Vc/Vs)=-t
therefore t=-CRln(1-Vc/Vs)
I have tried implementing your advice into this think...
For exponential decay the equation does not have a 1- its Vc=Vse^-t/CR rearranged for t=-CRlnvc/Vs
For exponential growth it contains the 1- Vc=Vs(1-e^-t/CR) I need to make t subject for this equation
Its just the 1-e^-t/CR that is confusing me
Ive managed thus so far 1+Vc/Vs=e^-t/CR...
For exponential decay i managed to rearrange it and got t=-CRlnvc/Vs from equation Vc=Vse^-t/CR (please tell me its correct)
Its just the 1-e^-t/CR that is confusing me

Hi
Ive got some calculations to do on amount of charge on a capacitor with respect to t.
Formula for amount of charge on a capacitor is Q=5.7ln4.5t
I need to determine the rate of discharge with different values of t, t=5ms t=7.5ms
I know i need to differentiate the formula...
Homework Statement
I need to rearrange the equation for exponential growth of voltage across capacitor during charging.
Homework Equations
Equation is Vc=Vs(1-e^-t/CR) I need to find out how long it takes for Vc=26v with Vs=40v thus rearranging the equation making t the subject...
