I know that the work required to fully charge a capacitor is given as:
1/2 C V^2
How much work is required to charge a capacitor to approximately 63% or
2 RC time constants? I know that it is going to be the area under the
curve: Vsource [1-exp(-t/RC)] from zero to 2RC , but it has been a long
time since I have done any integration. I am looking for a ball park
estimation if the exact answer is too difficult to derive. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
