Parallel Plate Capacitors and RC Circuits
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows how changing the size and separation of a capacitor changes its capacitance. In addition, the exponential decay of the voltage across the capacitor in an RC (resistor-capacitor) circuit is shown.
