Demonstrates RC capacitor discharging behavior.

Circuit Summary

A capacitor discharges through a resistor after a step change.

Expected Behavior

  • Capacitor voltage decays exponentially to zero.

How To Run

  1. Open RC-Discharge.kicad_sch in KiCad.
  2. Click Simulate and run the configured analyses.
  3. Add probes to the key nodes to view the expected behavior.

Notes

  • Time constant τ = RC controls the decay.
