electricpy.passive.vcapcharge(t, Vs, R, C)

Charging Capacitor Voltage.

Function to calculate the voltage of a capacitor that is charging given the time.

\[V_c=V_s*(1-e^{\frac{-t}{R*C}})\]

Parameters:

• t (float) – The time at which to calculate the voltage.

• Vs (float) – The charging voltage for the capacitor.

• R (float) – The ohmic value of the resistor being used to discharge.

• C (float) – Capacitive value (in Farads).

Returns:

Vc – The calculated voltage of the capacitor.

Return type:

float
