This shows two DC circuits with a capacitor charged to 1V and discharging through the 1k resistors. The capacitors are different by an order of magnitude in capacitance. The voltage across the resistors is plotted to show the difference in the rate at which the capacitors discharge. The 10uF capacitor takes much longer to discharge, as shown when opening the switches.
