A RC circuit is a simple filtering circuit. The impedance of R will stay the same across the frequency band. The impedance of C will vary according to 1/jwC (j = i = imaginary number, w = omega/frequency in radians, C = capacitance in Farads). As frequency varies from low frequency to high frequency, an increasingly smaller amount of the signal voltage will "drop" across the capacitor. This is known as a first order (one reactive element, the capacitor) low pass filter if the desired signal is measured across the capacitor. If measured across the resistor, this would be a first order high pass filter.
Edit: if you are talking about ESR (equivalent serires resistance), it is a parasitic component inside a capacitor. Theoretically, you don't want it but it's there.
resistor
A fractor is a circuit component that has both the function of resistor and capacitor.
When it is connected to resistor
when we replace the resistor with a capacitor ,the current will flow until the capacitor charge when capacitor will fully charged there is no current through the circuit because now capacitor will act like an open circuit. for more info plz E-mailt me at "zaib.zafar@yahoo.com"
Where you are measuring. A simple filter will be two elements - a capacitor or inductor and a resistor. A capacitor will tend to "trap" low frequencies. In the case of a lowpass filter made of a capacitor and resistor, the output voltage will be measured across the capacitor. Inductors are the opposite, so the output would be across the resistor.
resistor
the capacitor and its associated resistor set the time constant.

capacitor acts as resistor because it has some resistace alos.
A: A TRANSISTOR gain is determined by current flow on the collector by adding a resistor to the emitter this current flow is reduced by adding or bypassing this resistor with a capacitor the net effect is that this emitter resistor will be reduced in value as frequency increases therefore change gain as a function of frequency input
A: THE EMITTER resistor sole function is to provide stability if it is by passed by a capacitor then this resistance will change due to frequency since as frequency increases the impedance decreases. The total gain will change accordingly
I wanna use resistor , capacitor and amplifier 7173 for switch alarm circuit. How can i choice resistor and capacitor value because i wanna use 24V DC.
fully charged.
The reason why resistor voltage decreases while a capacitor discharges is because the resistor acts like a source of electrical energy. As the capacitor discharges, it draws energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. This is because the capacitor is acting like a drain, and is taking energy out of the resistor, thus causing the voltage across the resistor to decrease. The resistor and capacitor work together in order to create a discharge circuit. This is done by connecting the capacitor to the resistor, and then to a voltage source. The voltage source supplies the energy to the resistor, and then the resistor transfers this energy to the capacitor. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which causes the voltage across the resistor to decrease. In order to understand this process better, it is important to understand the basics of Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the resistance. As the capacitor discharges, it takes energy from the resistor, which means that the current through the resistor decreases, and therefore the voltage across the resistor will also decrease.
The voltage across a capacitors given as a time constant t= 63% the resistor value multiply buy capacitor value. it doesn't matter if it goes more or less negative it will follow this function
A capacitor is passive like a resistor is passive it performs no active amplification.
