RC Circuit - Series Circuit

Series Circuit

By viewing the circuit as a voltage divider, the voltage across the capacitor is:

V_C(s) = \frac{1/Cs}{R + 1/Cs}V_{in}(s) = \frac{1}{1 + RCs}V_{in}(s)

and the voltage across the resistor is:

V_R(s) = \frac{R}{R + 1/ Cs}V_{in}(s) = \frac{ RCs}{1 + RCs}V_{in}(s) .

Famous quotes containing the words series and/or circuit:

    “If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

    “We are all hostages, and we are all terrorists. This circuit has replaced that other one of masters and slaves, the dominating and the dominated, the exploiters and the exploited.... It is worse than the one it replaces, but at least it liberates us from liberal nostalgia and the ruses of history.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
