7.4.4 Capacitor Charge and Discharge
The voltage across the capacitor increases logarithmically over time as it charges. The charge on the capacitor, represented by Q, follows a similar pattern, increasing as the capacitor stores more energy. The current, initially at its maximum when the capacitor is completely discharged, decreases exponentially as the capacitor charges.

Why do Capacitors discharge?
The capacitor, being charged, has a voltage across and so, when the resistor is connected the resistor has the same voltage across as the capacitor. As the stored energy decreases, the voltage across decreases which (again by Ohm''s law), The reason the capacitor discharged was that the external circuit, a resistor in this case, ''draws

What happens when a capacitor is discharged?
When a capacitor is discharged, the current will be highest at the start. This will gradually decrease until reaching 0, when the current reaches zero, the capacitor is fully discharged as there is no charge stored across it. The rate of decrease of the potential difference and the charge will again be proportional to the value of the current.
What happens when a capacitor is charged?
This process will be continued until the potential difference across the capacitor is equal to the potential difference across the battery. Because the current changes throughout charging, the rate of flow of charge will not be linear. At the start, the current will be at its highest but will gradually decrease to zero.
How does capacitor charge change with time?
As the capacitor charges the charging current decreases since the potential across the resistance decreases as the potential across the capacitor increases. Figure 4 shows how both the potential difference across the capacitor and the charge on the plates vary with time during charging.
What happens when a voltage is placed across a capacitor?
When a voltage is placed across the capacitor the potential cannot rise to the applied value instantaneously. As the charge on the terminals builds up to its final value it tends to repel the addition of further charge. (b) the resistance of the circuit through which it is being charged or is discharging.
Why do capacitor charge graphs look the same?
Because the current changes throughout charging, the rate of flow of charge will not be linear. At the start, the current will be at its highest but will gradually decrease to zero. The following graphs summarise capacitor charge. The potential difference and charge graphs look the same because they are proportional.
What happens when a capacitor is supplied with DC voltage?
When a capacitor is supplied with DC voltage, it charges at a quite higher rate initially. However, the rate of charging decreases as time passes. Keep in mind that a capacitor can never be fully charged to its maximum capacity as it has an asymptotic charging curve.
