Step 1
The time constant (symbolized by the Greek letter tau, τ) is the time it takes for the voltage across a capacitor to decrease to approximately 36.8% of its initial value. Now, we want to find out how many time constants it takes for a capacitor to discharge to 1% Show more…

With $V=V_{o} e^{-t / R C}$, it mathematically takes an infinite time for a capacitor in an $R C$ circuit to discharge. Practically, how many time constants does it take for a capacitor to discharge to less than $1 \%$ of its initial voltage?
