RC-Circuits 2: Short Term and Long Term Behavior
How to make sense of short-term and long-term behavior in RC circuits even when there is more than one resistor or capacitor.
This follows up from RC-Circuits Part 1:
RC-Circuits 1: Charging and Discharging a Capacitor
A basic explanation of what happens. Learn to derive all the equations you need, even if you don’t understand differential equations. Continue reading
