11.8 Resistor Capacitor (RC) Circuits
AdvancedMCQMathematical22.6k
A schematic of a single-loop series RC circuit. On the left is a variable voltage source symbol labeled V(t) = \alpha t. Connected in series along the top wire is a resistor labeled R. Connected in series along the right vertical wire is a capacitor labeled C. Wires complete the loop back to the voltage source. No other elements or annotations appear.
Series RC circuit driven by a ramp voltage source.
An RC circuit consisting of a resistor of resistance \(R\) and an uncharged capacitor of capacitance \(C\) connected in series is driven by a variable voltage source producing a ramp voltage \(V(t) = \alpha t\), where \(\alpha\) is a positive constant and \(t \ge 0\). Which of the following expressions represents the charge \(q(t)\) on the capacitor as a function of time?
