Capacitor charge
Not what you're looking for?
If I have a capacitor with a capacitance of 0.000005 farads is wired in a circuit with a total resistance of 5000 ohms, how long must the capacitor be wired to a source voltage to reach 50% of its maximum charge? With q = Q [ 1 - e ( - t / RC ) ].
To help me understand this better, please show all work.

q = Q [ 1 - exp(- t/RC ) ]
This equation governs the charging of the capacitor with time. At any instant t, if we know the value of R and C we can calculate the "instantaneous value" of ...
