- The voltage drop across the capacitor rises from 0 to ℰ. Note that ℰ is never actually known in the measurement. In fact, the oscilloscope voltage is decalibrated, so that, whatever ℰ is, ℰ is at the top line while zero is at the bottom line. We don't measure voltage levels, but rather 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 the maximum. Kirchhoff's voltage law give: ℰ = IR + Q/C or the following: dQdt=−1RC(Q−EC)dQdt=−1RC(Q−ℰC) The solution for the capacitor voltage is VC(t)=E(1−e−t/RC)VC(t)=ℰ(1−e−t/RC) Calculate the theoretical half-life (in μs) of the circuit.
