Formula:
The formula to calculate the voltage across a capacitor (Vc(t)) in a series RC charging circuit at a specific time (t) is:
Vc(t) = Vs (1 - e(-t / RC))
- Vc(t) = Voltage across the capacitor at time t (Volts)
- Vs = Source Voltage (Volts)
- e = Euler's number (approximately 2.71828)
- t = Time elapsed since charging began (Seconds)
- R = Resistance (Ohms)
- C = Capacitance (Farads)
