Later we will analyze circuits that also contain sources after the initial switch action. Tippens, professor of physics southern polytechnic state university a powerpoint presentation by. Study of dc transients in rl and rc circuits nptel. Since the switch is open, no current flows in the circuit i0 and vr0. Chapter 32b rc circuits a powerpoint presentation by paul e. In both cases, the switch has been open for a long time, and then we ip it at time t 0. The behavior of supercapacitors differs from that of classic capacitors, which. Analysis of them will show which frequencies the circuits or filters pass and reject. The voltage across the capacitor, vc, is not known and must be defined. Rc for a series rc circuit having c 470 f for r 68k. The circuit shown on figure 1 with the switch open is characterized by a particular operating condition.
