9 D.c. transients
9.1 Introduction
Chapter 7 showed that when a capacitor is connected to a d.c.
voltage, it becomes charged until its terminal voltage equals the
applied voltage. Charging cannot take place instantaneously since
every circuit has a resistance.
The voltage in the capacitor builds up at a rate depending on the
value of the series resistance. Chapter 8 showed that when a d.c.
voltage is applied to a conductor an
e.m.f.
is induced in the
inductance in opposition to the applied voltage. The induced
voltage retards the growth of the current, and the rate of increase
depends on both the value of the inductance and the value of it
