Time constant  (Tau)
• The time required to charge a capacitor to 63.2%
of maximum voltage, or the time to discharge a
capacitor to 36.8% of its final voltage.
= R∙C
Seconds
• Similarly for an inductor, it is the time required
to change the amount of current through an
inductor to 63.2% of max current (or reduce it to
36.8% of final amount)
 = L/R
Seconds

Every time constant, the
voltage rises 63% of what
is remaining.

book for these values.

A 50kΩ resistor is
connected in series with a
40uF capacitor. With a
DC source of 50V, what is
the charge across the
capacitor after 6 sec?
Assume VC=0 at t=0
 = RC =
50k x 40u = 2sec
A 10kΩ resistor is
connected in series with a
.01uF capacitor. With a
DC source of 20V, what is
the charge across the
capacitor after 200us?
Assume VC=0 at t=0
 = RC =
10k x .01u = 100us
Do the following 2 problems on
your own.
• What is the voltage across a 5uF capacitor connected in series
with a 22kΩ resistor after 330ms with a 30V DC source voltage?
(Assume 0V for start up)
• For the problem above, what is the voltage across the resistor
after 440ms?
Try one more…
• What is the voltage across a 20uF capacitor connected in
series with a 100kΩ resistor after 3s if the source voltage
is 10V? (Assume 0V for start up)
• Hint: It is not 74.85% or 7.485V
• When the amount of time does not fall exactly on an
even number of time constants, such as 1, 2, etc. then
we use the following equation 21.2:
𝑉𝐶 = 𝑉𝑆 (1 − 𝑒

• Everyone think of a large number. Something
larger than 1000.
• Now plug that number into the formula, where
N is your number:
• (1+1/N)N
• With the help of magic I bet your number is:
• 2.718…
• Find the “e” on your calculator and press enter.

ex)
Going back to our original problem
• What is the voltage across a 20uF capacitor connected in
series with a 100kΩ resistor after 3s if the source voltage
