Re: Series-Parallel DC RC circuit


Big Snip----

I didn't like the "Vc = 1 - e^ (-t/RC)" part, as the right hand
expression is usually meant to be taken to be unitless when written
like that.

Exactly, I should have converted the whole thing to represent a decimal or
percentage of the applied voltage, and in this case the applied voltage
would be the voltage at the output of the voltage divider. In which case you
would need to replace the 1 with that voltage.
But eventually I did get around to --
Vc as a fraction of E applied = (Rshunt/Rseries+Rshunt) - e^ (-t/RC)
and I could have taken it one step further
Vc = (E applied * (Rshunt/Rseries+Rshunt)) - e^ (-t/(Rseries*C)) for the
actual voltage
