A charged capacitor is connected with a resistor. After how many time constants, does the energy of capacitor `(1/100)^th` becomes of its initial value?A. 2.3B. 1.15C. 0.69D. 4.6

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`1/2 Q^2/C = 1/100 (1/2 Q_0^2/C)`
`Q=Q_0/10`
`Q_0/10 = Q_0e^(-t//tau)`
`ln(10)^(-1) = (-t)/tau`
`t/tau=2.303`
