4. You can easily find the time constant if you are given a graph of voltage across a discharging capacitor as a function of time. When t = Tc = RC, the voltage across the capacitor is AV (t = Tc) = AV, e¹≈ 0.37 AV Therefore the time constant is just how long it takes for AV (t) to reach 37% of its initial value. The graph shows the voltage across a discharging 0.2 μF capacitor as a function of time. Use the following steps to determine the resistance. a. What is 37% of the initial voltage? 21 b. How long does it take (after discharge starts) for the voltage to reach 37% of the initial voltage? This time is equal to the time constant. c.
