capacitor
a component used to store charge
2
New cards
capacitance
the capacitance of a capacitor is the charge on the plates of the capacitor per unit potential difference across the plates
3
New cards
exponential decay
the decrease of a quantity where the rate of decrease is proportional to the value of the quantity
4
New cards
time constant
the time constant (represented by the Greek letter tau) of a circuit is equal to RC, where C is the capacitance in the circuit and R is the resistance in the circuit. It is equal to the time it takes for the current in the circuit to fall to 1/e of the initial current, where e is the exponential function
