The C represents the capacitance (in farads) of the capacitor. It is a measure of how much charge a capacitor can hold. This is needed to know how much energy the capacitor is holding.

Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?

When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.


Is capacitor discharging time is equal with charging time or not?

The time constant is equivalent to 1/(R*C); since C (the capacitance of the capacitor) is not changing, yes, the charging and discharging times will be the same, provided the Thevenin resistance is the same as well - if you charge a capacitor using a AA battery, then remove the battery, and discharge through a resistor, you have changed the Thevenin resistance, thus the discharge time will NOT be equal.

When a capacitor discharges the discharge current flows in the opposite direction to the current used to charge it.


The effect of resistance on the rate of charging or discharging a capacitor?

If the resistance is in series with the capacitor, the charge/discharge time is extended.


Why in the experiment of flashing and quenching of capacitor the neon bulb start twinkling?

In the experiment of flashing and quenching of a capacitor, the neon bulb twinkles because the charging and discharging of the capacitor cause the voltage across the capacitor to fluctuate rapidly. These fluctuations can cause the neon bulb to turn on and off, leading to the twinkling effect.


What is the relationship between resistance and capacitance in a circuit with a capacitor, and how does the resistance affect the charging and discharging process of the capacitor?

In a circuit with a capacitor, resistance and capacitance are related in how they affect the charging and discharging process of the capacitor. Resistance limits the flow of current in the circuit, which affects how quickly the capacitor charges and discharges. Higher resistance slows down the charging and discharging process, while lower resistance speeds it up. Capacitance, on the other hand, determines how much charge the capacitor can store. Together, resistance and capacitance impact the overall behavior of the circuit with a capacitor.
