Step 1
Time constant of an RC circuit: The time constant of an RC circuit is a measure of the time it takes for the voltage across the capacitor to charge or discharge to approximately 63.2% of its final value. It is denoted by the symbol τ (tau) and is given by the Show more…

Problem: Calculate the time constant for the following circuit: R = 47.5kΩ Vs = 5V Vc = ? C = 1μF Calculate the RC time constant. What will be the voltage across the capacitor at 0.7 time constants? What will be the voltage across the capacitor at 1 time constant? How long will it take to "fully charge" the capacitor? What will be the voltage across the capacitor after 100 seconds?
