What is RC Circuit?
The combination of a pure capacitance C in Farads and pure resistance R in ohms is called an RC circuit.A circuit in which resistance and capacitance are connected together in a series is called an RC series circuit.
RC Circuit is known as the resistor-capacitor circuit. It is also a basic electrical circuit in which resistance R of the resistor is connected in a series with the capacitor of a capacitance C.
Types of RC Circuits Calculator
There are two types of RC Circuits
- Charging RC Circuit
- Discharging RC Circuit
What is charging RC Circuit?
A charging RC circuit consists of:
- A partially charged or completely uncharged capacitor
- A resistor
- A DC current source
What is discharging RC Circuit?
A discharging RC circuit consists of:
- A fully charged or partially charged capacitor
- A resistor
Formula
F = 1 / (2π*R*C)
where
R is the resistance of the resistor in Ω
C is the capacitance of the capacitor in Farads
F is the frequency in hertz
Example for RC Circuit
If we have capacitance is 13F and resistance is 8Ω then calculate the frequency of an RC Circuit.
Given data
Capacitance = 13F
Resistance = 8 Ω
Frequency =?
Solution
F = 1 / (2*3.14*13*8)
Frequency = 0.0015303 Hz
