How might you set up a circuit that charges a capacitor slowly, then releases its charge quickly in a large current? How might a capacitor be used in a circuit to prevent sudden spikes in voltage? When the capacitor is fully charged, how does the voltage between its plates compare that of the power supply’s? What does this mean about the voltage across the resistor? In turn, what does that mean about the current through the circuit?
