Answer:
v(1ms) = 93.14mV
v(5ms) = 1.7361V
2. CAPACITORS
Example 2
An initially uncharged 1-mF capacitor has the current
shown below across it. Calculate the voltage across it
at t = 2 ms and t = 5 ms.
Answer:
v(2ms) = 100
mV
v(5ms) = 500
3. ENERGY IN CAPACITORS
The energy, w, stored in the capacitor is:
1 2
w Cv
2
The unit is Joule [J]
A capacitor is
an open circuit to dc (dv/dt = 0).
its voltage cannot change abruptly.
