Capacitor Discharge Curve Explained - Voltage vs. Time Graph #65978 (License: Personal Use)

This graph illustrates the exponential discharge of a capacitor through a resistor, starting at +10V and approaching 0V asymptotically. Key time constants are labeled: at 1RC, voltage drops to ~37% of initial value; by 5RC, it falls to ~1%. The curve reflects the equation V(t) = V₀·e^(-t/RC).

Used in electronics education, circuit simulation guides, and engineering documentation to explain RC time constants and transient response. Matches user intent for learning capacitor behavior, designing timing circuits, or troubleshooting signal decay.
