How long will it take the capacitor shown in Figure 15-15 to charge if it has a value of 50 µF and the resistor has a value of 100 kΩ?
Step-by-Step
τ = R × C
τ = 0.000050 F × 100,000 Ω
τ = 5 s
The formula is used to find the time for one time constant. Five time constants are required to charge the capacitor.
Total τ = 5 s × 5 time constants
Total τ = 25 s
