In an RC circuit if the capacitance is doubled ... - SS2 Physics Electromagnetism Question
In an RC circuit, if the capacitance is doubled while the resistance remains constant, what happens to the time constant?
A
Doubles
B
Halves
C
Remains the same
D
Increases by a factor of 4
correct option: a
Explanation: The time constant (τ) of an RC circuit is inversely proportional to the product of resistance (R) and capacitance (C). If C is doubled while R remains constant, τ = RC is doubled as well.
