RC circuit maximum voltage

AI Thread Summary
In an RC circuit, the maximum voltage across a capacitor can be greater than, less than, or equal to the maximum voltage across a resistor, depending on the specific circuit configuration. In a simple RC circuit with one ideal DC voltage source, one resistor, and one capacitor, whether arranged in series or parallel, the maximum voltage across both components will be the same. The behavior of the circuit is influenced by factors such as the values of the resistor and capacitor, as well as the applied voltage. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing circuit performance. Proper guidance can clarify these concepts further.

i can't figure this out. In an RC circuit, why is the maximum voltage of a capactior greater then the maximum voltage of a resistor? can anyone guide me in the right direction

It depends on the circuit. Circuits are possible where it is greater, smaller or the same.
for an simple RC circuit with one ideal DC voltage source, one resistor and one capacitor, either series or parallel, the maximum voltage would be the same.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
