Good morning! In this episode of Flipping Physics, we explore the dynamic world of RC circuits—combining resistors and capacitors in electric circuits. Discover how electric potential differences, current, and charge on capacitor plates change over time in an RC circuit. Starting with the uncharged capacitor, a resistor, and a battery, we delve into the concept of charging a capacitor through a resistor. Follow us as we analyze the circuit using Kirchhoff’s Loop Rule and unveil insights into current, electric potential difference, and charge at different time intervals. Enhance your understanding of RC circuits and boost your knowledge of circuit behavior! 🔄⚡
