Question:

Describe what happens to current as a capacitor charges

Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt



Answer:

When capacitor is uncharged initially, electrons flow freely to capacitor so current is large as electrons build on one plate of the capacitor they exert a repulsive force on electrons coming on to the capacitor, reducing rate of flow of electrons current decreases and eventually drops to zero when the capacitor is fully charged
