RC Circuit Discharging
Given Below Circuit Show RC Circuit Discharging.
When the capacitor is fully charged and the source is disconnected the charge stored in capacitor will remain constant if the voltage across is kept constant. When we replace the source with a short circuit the capacitor will start discharging itself.

from this equation we can say that the discharging will also be exponential. When we substitute different values in the equation we will observe the following graph.
RC Circuit
In this article, we will discuss about RC circuits. We will discuss the main two elements of the circuit then we will look into the types of RC circuits (series and parallel). We will discuss the power in the series circuit and their equations. We will then look into the step response which includes the forced and natural response. We will also discuss the charging and discharging of the circuit. Later in the article, we will discuss some applications of RC circuits.
