Charge & Discharge Graphs | AQA A Level Physics Revision Notes
The capacitor charges when connected to terminal P and discharges when connected to terminal Q. At the start of discharge, the current is large (but in the opposite direction to when it was charging) and gradually falls to zero. As a capacitor discharges, the current, p.d and charge all decrease exponentially. This means the rate at which the current, p.d or charge

In other words after one time constant in an RC discharge, the voltage on the capacitor''s plates is down to 37% of its final value. Since the final value is zero volts (fully discharged), on a voltage-time curve this is represented as 0.37Vs. Now the thing about capacitors discharging is that they do not discharge in a steady and linear way.

6 FAQs about [Intermediate circuit capacitor not discharged]
Will a capacitor discharge during a negative-going half-cycle?
The capacitor will discharge during the negative-going half-cycle - but slowly, with the time constant determined by the capacitor and resistor values. In this circuit we would normally select R and C values sufficiently large that the capacitor will not discharge significantly in one cycle.
How long does it take a capacitor to discharge?
Over time, the capacitor will discharge through R to the point where the SCR turns off, and this subsequently closes the transistor and the uC detects this to perform some action. When R = 100kohm, it takes about 6 minutes for the cap to discharge and all the other stuff in the micro to start. When R = 120kohm, the cap does not discharge at all.
Does a capacitor charge when voltage decreases?
As far as I understand, in an AC circuit, a capacitor is supposed to charge as the voltage is increasing, and as soon as the voltage starts decreasing, the capacitor starts to discharge (Since it will be the higher voltage source out of all in the circuit by then).
Why does a diode change the voltage of a capacitor?
Because of the diode, the capacitor is charged in the opposite polarity after the first positive cycle, then the input signal voltage and capacitor's voltage would always be opposite in polarity. The output signal should shift horizontal in time instead of vertically.
How often should capacitors be reformed?
Without reforming, the capacitors can get damaged when the converter starts to operate. ABB recommends to reform the capacitors once a year or once in three years depending on the converter module type, see section Reforming time on page 8.
Does a 120kohm cap discharge?
When R = 120kohm, the cap does not discharge at all. Or at least it does not discharge any visible amount in 30minutes when viewed on a scope. What is going on here?
