RC Circuit Transient Simulation
Using the RC circuit, Run a .tran (Transient) simulation for 5 milliseconds with a step size of 200 microsecond. Plot the voltage across the capacitor over time to show the charging curve.

Here is the transient charging curve of the capacitor over 5 ms (step size 200 µs):
RC Charging Curve
Key points:
- τ = R·C = 1 kΩ × 1 µF = 1 ms
- V(OUT) at 1 ms ≈ 3.16 V (63% of 5 V)
- V(OUT) at 5 ms ≈ 4.97 V (99.3% of 5 V)
