Show that time constant `(tau = RC)` of `R - C` circuit has the dimensions of time. |

Answer» Time constant of RC circuit indicates how fast or how slow will be the charging and discharging of a capacitor through a resistor. A small value of `t = RC`, represents faster charging and discharging, whereas large value of `t = RC`, indicates slower charging and discharging of the capacitor. For a given circuit, time constant is fixed. We can optimise the value of time constant by choosing suitable value of R and C. |
