In a series RC circuit, the voltage across the capacitor at any time t is given by: V=Ee RC where R and C are the values of the resistor and capacitor connected in series and E is the supply voltage. Suppose you have a 10-kQ resistor in series with a capacitor and connected to a 10-V source, for the time interval, plot the capacitor voltage at: C = 0.1 µF, C = 0.5 µF and C = 0.25 µF.
