[SOLVED] Problem getting a smooth capacitor charge.
Please tell me I''m dumb. I''ve setup a simple capacitor charging circuit where my Arduino supplies the circuit power from a digital pin, and measures the capacitor voltage as it charges. My problem is my sensor results aren''t showing a smooth voltage curve, there is a short period in the first 10-15 sensor samples after I turn the supply pin …

High-voltage capacitor in a low-voltage system
The capacitors filter this drop by supplying the appropriate voltage to keep the circuit smooth. As the voltage rises back up again, it recharges the capacitor. A leaky capacitor has the effect of a large rated capacitor that leaks and keeps the circuit from working properly. In most cases, you can over rate a capacitor and get away with it.
Led charge indicator for small supercapacitor (1F x 5.5v)
$begingroup$ Your USB port has some internal resistance. if it has survived this treatment thus far it''s probably OK. but yes according to the rukes of USB you should be limiting the current, and a resistor is one way to do that. the circuit will work with either both positive terminals connected to the capacitor or with only the rightmost …

Let''s say you have a power supply that spits out a constant voltage of 5V at a constant current of 1mA, then on rearranging the equation we can find the time taken to charge a 100uF capacitor to 5V: dt = CdV/I. dt = (0.000100F * 5V)/0.001A. dt = 0.5 seconds. So the capacitor would charge up to 5V in 0.5 seconds.
How to Charge a Capacitor
In this case, the capacitor charges up to 9 volts, since it''s connected to a 9-volt battery. Many of the times while charging a capacitor, a resistor is used in series with the capacitor and voltage source to decrease the amount of current that flows through the capacitor, so that the capacitor isn''t damaged.
