Rank the resistances in the circuits above from largest to smallest. Explain why.

Expert Solution

Step 1

In the last curve the time constant is the least as seen from the curve, hence the resistance is also least because T = RC.

The second least resistance is in the third case because the capacitance is twice and the time constant is a little greater than twice as compared to the fourth case.
