Capacitors charge and discharge at a(n) _____ rate.
A) linear
B) exponential
C) geometric
D) sinusoidal
Charge Rate
Charge rate denotes the speed at which a battery or capacitive device is charged, typically measured in amperes or a relative percentage per hour.
Exponential
The rate at which current rises and falls in inductor or the rate at which capacitors charge and discharge.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Capacitors charge and discharge following an exponential rate, governed by the equation V(t) = V₀(1 - e^(-t/RC)) for charging and V(t) = V₀e^(-t/RC) for discharging, where V₀ is the initial voltage, R is the resistance, C is the capacitance, and t is time.
