4.4.102 - Capacitor charge and discharge curves

Be able to draw and interpret charge and discharge curves for resistor capacitor circuits and understand the significance of the time constant RC.

Use - capacitor charge and discharge curves to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - capacitor charge and discharge curves determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - capacitor charge and discharge curves to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Capacitor charge and discharge curves is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
