Question:

Why does the circuit current gradually decrease when charging the capacitor?

Why does the circuit current gradually decrease when charging the capacitor?

Answer:

For the ideal capacitor, when the capacitor is charged, as the voltage across the capacitor gradually increases, the charging current will gradually decrease until zero.
due to the increase in the number of charge, the electrostatic field field strength will gradually increase, increasing the field strength caused by the absorption of electrons to produce exclusion, So that the number of adsorbed charges gradually reduced, the number of charge to reduce the performance of the phenomenon that the charging current is gradually reduced. When the number of charges on the two electrode plates of the capacitor reaches a gradually increasing field strength constraint, the amount of charge is not increased and the equilibrium state is reached, that is, the charge saturation current is zero.
The capacitor is a charged container, when the container is full of charge when the internal potential and external potential can reach equilibrium, then the circuit of electrons no longer exercise.
Why does the circuit current gradually decrease when charging the capacitor? Because the charge began to charge the capacitor, the capacitor two electrode plate charge began to zero, the electrostatic field is zero, the absorption of electrons is not exclusion, the performance of the phenomenon is the beginning of the charge when the circuit current is very large, with the capacitor The charging time increases, there will be more and more charge adsorption on the capacitor two electrode plates,
