6 FAQs about [No-decay capacitors]

What is the decay of charge in a capacitor?

The decay of charge in a capacitor is similar to the decay of a radioactive nuclide. It is exponential decay. If we discharge a capacitor, we find that the charge decreases by half every fixed time interval - just like the radionuclides activity halves every half life.

Do capacitors decay exponentially?

The voltage, current, and charge all decay exponentially during the capacitor discharge. We can charge up the capacitor and then flip the switch and record the voltage and current readings at regular time intervals and plot the data, which gives us the exponential graphs below. The half life of the decay is independent of the starting voltage.

What is the time constant of a capacitor?

The discharge of a capacitor is exponential, the rate at which charge decreases is proportional to the amount of charge which is left. Like with radioactive decay and half life, the time constant will be the same for any point on the graph: Each time the charge on the capacitor is reduced by 37%, it takes the same amount of time.

Does a capacitor completely discharge?

The graphs are asymptotic (like the one for radioactive decay) , i.e. in theory the capacitor does not completely discharge but in practice, it does. The product RC (capacitance of the capacitor × resistance it is discharging through) in the formula is called the time constant. The units for the time constant are seconds.

What happens when a capacitor is charging or discharging?

The time constant When a capacitor is charging or discharging, the amount of charge on the capacitor changes exponentially. The graphs in the diagram show how the charge on a capacitor changes with time when it is charging and discharging. Graphs showing the change of voltage with time are the same shape.

What is an exponential decay curve?

The decay curve against time is called an exponential decay. The voltage, current, and charge all decay exponentially during the capacitor discharge. We can charge up the capacitor and then flip the switch and record the voltage and current readings at regular time intervals and plot the data, which gives us the exponential graphs below.
