In an RC circuit the time constant represents - SS2 Physics Electromagnetism Question

In an RC circuit, the time constant represents:

A

The time taken for the capacitor to charge to its maximum voltage

 

B

The time taken for the capacitor to discharge completely

 

C

The time taken for the circuit to reach steady-state conditions

 

D

The time taken for the voltage across the capacitor to decrease by 37% of its initial value

correct option: d

Explanation: The time constant represents the time taken for the voltage across the capacitor to increase or decrease by approximately 63.2% (1 - 1/e) of its initial or final value.
