Transient time for an RC circuit is the same as the time constant.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To check: Whether the given statement is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1TFQ

The given statement is False

Explanation of Solution

A given circuit is a RC integrator circuit. Consider the circuit of an RC integrator shown below.

  Electronics Fundamentals: Circuits, Devices & Applications, Chapter 15, Problem 1TFQ

Here, input Vin is applied across the series combination of resistance and capacitance and the output Vout is taken across the capacitor.

In an RC circuit, the time taken for a capacitor to get fully charged or discharged is called transient time and it is expressed as 5 times the time constant of the circuit. The time constant of the circuit for a given value of resistance and capacitance is given by,

  τ=RC

Hence, the transient time,

  tr=5τ=5RC ....... (1)

Thus, transient time and time constant are not the same.

Laboratory Preliminary Discussion First-order Low-pass RC Filter Analysis The first-order low-pass RC filter shown in figure 1 below represents all voltages and currents in the time domain. It is of course possible to solve for all circuit voltages using time domain differential equation techniques, but it is more efficient to convert the circuit to its s-domain equivalent as shown in figure 2 and apply Laplace transform techniques. vs(t) i₁(t) + R₁ ww V₁(t) 12(t) Lic(t) Vout(t) = V2(t) R₂ Vc(t) C Vc(t) VR2(t) = V2(t) + Vs(s) Figure 1: A first-order low-pass RC filter represented in the time domain.
