I read that the formula for calculating the time for a capacitor to charge with constant voltage is 5·τ = 5· (R·C) which is derived from the natural logarithm. In another book I read that if you charged a capacitor with a constant current, the voltage would increase linear with time.
Gradually, the charge is stored on the capacitor, creating a voltage drop across it. After a long time, when the capacitor is fully charged, the current through the resistor becomes zero. Using Ohm's law, \Delta V_R=IR ΔV R = I R, the voltage difference across the resistor is also zero.
Solution: A fully charged capacitor is connected to a resistor and consequently discharges through it. In this case, there is no battery in the circuit. (a) The time constant, \tau=RC τ = RC, is the time it takes for the charges on the capacitor to decrease to about 37\% 37% of its initial charges.
(b) The potential difference across a charging capacitor in an RC circuit, which is proportional to the charge on it, is found using the formula: V=V_0 \left (1-e^ {-t/\tau}\right) V = V 0 (1−e−t/τ) where V_0 V 0 is the battery's voltage or emf and \tau τ is the time constant.
