About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models capacitor charging and discharging behaviour in practical electrical circuits. Students can adjust circuit parameters, observe real-time changes in voltage, charge accumulation, and energy storage, and explore how capacitance, resistance, and time affect the charging process.

Learning objectives: Understand how capacitors store electrical charge and energy | Observe the relationship between voltage, capacitance, and stored charge | Investigate charging and discharging curves in RC circuits
