It doesn't matter since the two are symmetric. We are assuming a perfect voltage source, therefore 0 impedence, driving the input to the resistor divider. > How, the hell on the earth, lower R2 value, that is increase in > current leakage to ground from the capacitor would help the DC source > to charge the capacitor faster through the same constant resistor R1? Because "faster" is in the context of the final steady state voltage, and is not the same absolute value as you change the resistance. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
