The question my Prof. asked was worded like this: In the series RC circuit, explain why it would have been incorrect to place the capacitor between the resistor and the voltage source such that the resistor gets connected to ground. He has never given a trick question before, so I did not even...
In a series RC circuit, why does the capacitor need to be placed between the resistor and ground, and not between the resistor and voltage source. I have looked everywhere to find the reason, so if you could help it would be appreciated.
