For a high pass RC circuit, when subjected to a unit step input voltage the voltage across the capacitor will be—
-
- 1 – e– t/RC
- e– t/RC
- e + t/RC
- 1
Correct Option: A
Voltage across capacitor
= | |||
V0(s) | |||
Vi(s) | |||
Cs |
where Vi (t) = u(t)

Vi (s) = | s |
V0(s)=Vi (s) | RCs + 1 |
V0(s) = | · | ![]() | ![]() | ||
s | RCs + 1 |
By using partial fraction
V0(s) = | + | |||
s | RCs + 1 |
V0(s) = | + | |||
s | RCs + 1 |
V0(s) = | – | RC | |||||
s | RC | ![]() | s + | ![]() | |||
RC |
Taking inverse Laplace transform
V0(t) = 1 – e– t/RC
Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.
