A circuit consisting of a capacitor C, a resistor of resistance R and an ideal battery of emf V, as shown in figure is known as RC series circuit.
As soon as the circuit is completed by closing key S₁ (keeping S₂ open) charges begin to flow between the capacitor plates and the battery terminals. The charge on the capacitor increases and consequently the potential difference Vc (= q/C) across the capacitor also increases with time. When this potential difference equals the potential difference across the battery, the capacitor is fully charged (Q = VC). During this process of charging, the charge q on the capacitor changes with time t as
\(q = Q[1 - e^{-t/RC}]\)
The charging current can be obtained by differentiating it and using
\(\frac{d}{dx} (e^{mx}) = me^{mx}\)

- A system of two conductors is placed in air and they have net charge of \( +80 \, \mu C \) and \( -80 \, \mu C \) which causes a potential difference of 16 V between them.
(1) Find the capacitance of the system.
(2) If the air between the capacitor is replaced by a dielectric medium of dielectric constant 3, what will be the potential difference between the two conductors?
(3) If the charges on two conductors are changed to +160µC and −160µC, will the capacitance of the system change? Give reason for your answer.- CBSE CLASS XII - 2025
