Below is the universal charge / discharge curve for capacitors and its relationship to Tau. Rise Decay V V V V V V 16 16 To 110 The capacitor will charge to the full source voltage in 5 time constants (5t), and discharge to OV in another 5 time constants as shown above and below. Charge percent for each Tau is shown below. Vc 100 V 80 V 99 3V 98.2V 95.0V 265V C 10F 60V 632V 100v 40V 1 20 V OV 1 ms CIRCUIT SIMULATION 1 5.
