This web page contains a simulation featuring a series RC series circuit. The capacitor is initially uncharged. Current vs. Time and Voltage vs. Time graphs can be viewed simultaneously for both the charge and discharge of the capacitor. This item is part of a collection of similar simulation-based student activities by the author. See Related Items for a link to the author's full collection on Electricity and Magnetism.
