Hello to everyone
i just wanted to comment about the article "Capacitors and Calculus" on the first volume of this textbooks.
http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_13/2.html
The problem is that the author shows voltage and current changes in a capacitor in a linear way rather than logarithmically as it really is.I pressume that the author did it that way for didactical purposes by showing simple geometrical forms and the rate of changes of the magnitudes,but i think it can be very misleading to new students since he doesn't mention that what he wrote does not happens in real life.I would like to know what u think about this.
Thanks
