A 10 kΩ resistor and a 100 μF capacitor are connected in series in an RC circuit. What is the time constant of the circuit?

A

1 ms

 

 

B

10 ms

 

C

100 ms

 

D

1 s

correct option: b

Explanation: The time constant (τ) of an RC circuit is given by the product of resistance (R) and capacitance (C). τ = RC = (10,000 Ω) × (100 × 10(-6) F) = 1 × 10(-3) s = 10 ms.
