Wire Set RC Circuit

A wire set RC circuit is a type of electrical circuit that consists of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected in series with a power source.

The circuit's behavior can be described by the following characteristics:

  • Charging Phase: When the circuit is first closed, the capacitor begins to charge. The voltage across the capacitor increases over time until it reaches the same value as the power source.
  • Discharging Phase: When the circuit is opened, the capacitor discharges through the resistor. The voltage across the capacitor decreases exponentially over time.

Wire set RC circuits are used in a variety of applications, including:

  • Timing Circuits
  • Filters
  • Oscillators
