1. Analyse graphs of variation with time of p.d., charge and current for a capacitor discharging through a resistor
RC 放电时,V, Q, I 都按指数规律衰减
V-t 图:指数衰减曲线(从 V0 趋于 0)
I-t 图:指数衰减曲线(从 I0=V0/R 趋于 0)
Q-t 图:指数衰减曲线(从 Q0=CV0 趋于 0)
2. Recall and use τ=RC for the time constant for a capacitor discharging through a resistor
Time constant τ=RC 的量纲是秒
物理意义:t=τ 时,V=V0e−1≈0.37V0
τ 越大,放电越慢
3. Use equations of the form x=x0e−t/RC where x could represent current, charge or potential difference for a capacitor discharging through a resistor
