My son and I were discussing some RC circuits (very simple I might add), when he asked what happens in the cicuit if you put a batttery in series with a capacitor and a resistor to ground, so the current and voltage are applied to all components. I think he wants to drain the cap and use it as a small batttery somehow. I tried my best to explain that a cap gives up all its energy at once but wasn't very sucessful.
Any help here would be appreciated.
