(A short circuit) As time continues and the charge accumulates, the capacitors voltage rises and it's current consumption drops until the capacitor voltage and the applied voltage are equal and no current flows into the capacitor (open circuit). This effect may not be immediately recognizable with smaller capacitors.
Capacitor acts like short circuit at t=0, the reason that capacitor have leading current in it. The inductor acts like an open circuit initially so the voltage leads in the inductor as voltage appears instantly across open terminals of inductor at t=0 and hence leads.
Right after a switch closes, an ideal capacitor looks like a short circuit, meaning all the voltage drop is across the resistor. As net charge builds up on the capacitor plates, the current goes down, eventually becoming zero.
The passage discusses how an ideal capacitor looks like a short circuit immediately after the switch closes. However, it's important to note that the passage is not about identifying a short circuit in a capacitor but rather explaining the behavior of an ideal capacitor in the context of charging through a resistor.
A capacitor does not behave like an open circuit after a long time. The misconception arises from the fact that after a long time, the voltage across a charged capacitor may decrease to zero through a discharge path, such as a resistor. However, the capacitor itself does not become an open circuit.
Capacitor: at t=0 is like a closed circuit (short circuit) at 't=infinite' is like open circuit (no current through the capacitor) Long Answer: A capacitors charge is given by Vt = V(1 −e(−t/RC)) V t = V (1 − e (− t / R C)) where V is the applied voltage to the circuit, R is the series resistance and C is the parallel capacitance.
A fully discharged capacitor, having a terminal voltage of zero, will initially act as a short-circuit when attached to a source of voltage, drawing maximum current as it begins to build a charge. Over time, the capacitor''s terminal voltage rises to …
If at a given time $t_0$ a capacitor is not charged, by definition, it has $q(t_0)=0$, hence $v(t_0)$ must be 0, even if some current in that instant of time is flowing. …
So the instant after the switch closes, the ideal capacitor looks like a short circuit. That means all the voltage drop is across the resistor the instant after the switch …
Understand the circuit immediately after the switch is closed. - Immediately after the switch is closed, the capacitor behaves like a short circuit because it is initially uncharged. …

If at a given time $t_0$ a capacitor is not charged, by definition, it has $q(t_0)=0$, hence $v(t_0)$ must be 0, even if some current in that instant of time is flowing. Therefore, at that instant, the capacitor is like a …

To understand the transient behavior of a capacitor, let''s look at an RC circuit. Now, if the switch S is suddenly closed, the current starts flowing through the circuit. Let us …
• A fully discharged capacitor initially acts as a short circuit (current with no voltage drop) when faced with the sudden application of voltage. After charging fully to that level of voltage, it acts …
You have the right general idea, but you can''t just consider the two capacitors as one 3F capacitor. Just before the switch is closed, the 2F capacitor will be fully charged and …

The short answer is the voltage across an ideal capacitor cannot change instantaneously, i.e., in zero time. It therefore looks like a short-circuit (zero voltage) when the …
A fully discharged capacitor, having a terminal voltage of zero, will initially act as a short-circuit when attached to a source of voltage, drawing maximum current as it begins to build a charge. …
If we assume that a capacitor in a circuit is not initially charged, then its voltage must be zero. The instant the circuit is energized, the capacitor voltage must still be zero. If there is no voltage across the device, then it is …
An inductor is a wire. After it saturates the core, it behaves like a short circuit. A capacitor is a gap between two conductors. After it charges, it behaves like an open circuit. Their instantaneous …
Voltages appear across the resistor and capacitor in this circuit. The voltage across R is a result of the current, E = IR. Thus, the maximum voltage appears across R when the maximum …
