Dicharging a Capacitor

2 bytes removed, 22 May
Formula
The discharge through a [[resistor]] follows an [[Exponential Decay|exponential decay]] described by the formula:
: *<math>𝑄=𝑄_0𝑒^{−𝑡/𝑅𝐶}</math>
Where:
A [[capacitor]]'s rate of '''discharge''' in a [[Electrical Circuit|circuit]] is characterised by the [[Capacitor Time Constant|time constant]] 𝜏 which is given by the formula:
: *𝜏 = 𝑅𝐶
