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.
