Question

what is the significance of time constant for a capacitor when it is used as an input filter

Open in App

Solution

Charging of the capacitor in RC circuit increases or decreases exponentially therefore time constant of the RC circuit is the time required to charge the capacitor by 63.2% of the difference between the initial and final value of the charge.
