  2. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    The following formulae use it, assuming a constant voltage applied across the capacitor and resistor in series, to determine the voltage across the capacitor against time: Charging toward applied voltage (initially zero voltage across capacitor, constant V 0 across resistor and capacitor together) V 0 : V ( t ) = V 0 ( 1 − e − t / τ ...

  3. Open-circuit time constant method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-circuit_time_constant...

    The zero-value time (ZVT) constant method itself is a special case of the general Time- and Transfer Constant (TTC) analysis that allows full evaluation of the zeros and poles of any lumped LTI systems of with both inductors and capacitors as reactive elements using time constants and transfer constants. The OCT method provides a quick ...

  4. RC circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_circuit

    A resistor–capacitor circuit (RC circuit), or RC filter or RC network, is an electric circuit composed of resistors and capacitors. It may be driven by a voltage or current source and these will produce different responses. A first order RC circuit is composed of one resistor and one capacitor and is the simplest type of RC circuit.

  5. Current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_source

    Conversely, a current source provides a constant current, as long as the impedance of the load is sufficiently lower than the current source's parallel impedance (which is preferably very high and ideally infinite). In the case of transistor current sources, impedances of a few megohms (at low frequencies) are typical. Because power is current ...

  6. Current mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_mirror

    A current mirror is a circuit designed to copy a current through one active device by controlling the current in another active device of a circuit, keeping the output current constant regardless of loading. The current being "copied" can be, and sometimes is, a varying signal current. Conceptually, an ideal current mirror is simply an ideal ...

  7. Capacitive power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_power_supply

    By changing the value of the example in the diagram by a capacitor with a value of 330 nF, a current of approximately 20 mA can be provided, as the reactance of the 330 nF capacitor at 50 Hz calculates to = and applying Ohm's law, that limits the current to . This way up to 48 white LEDs in series can be powered (for example, 3.1 V/20 mA/20000 ...

  8. File:Displacement current in capacitor.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Displacement_current...

    The 'displacement current' term provides a second source for the magnetic field besides current; the rate of change of the electric field. Between the capacitor's plates, the electric field is increasing, so the rate of change of electric field through the surface S 2 {\displaystyle S_{2}\,} is positive, and its magnitude gives the correct ...

  9. File:Capacitor schematic with dielectric.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Capacitor_schematic...

    English: Schematic of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric spacer. Two plates with area A {\displaystyle A} are separated by a distance d {\displaystyle d} . When a charge ± Q {\displaystyle \pm {}Q} is moved between the plates, an electric field E {\displaystyle E} exists in the region between the plates.
