Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.9P
In physics, the half-life is often used to characterize exponential decay of physical quantities such as radioactive substances. The half-life is the time required for the quantity to decay to half of its initial value. The time constant for the voltage on a capacitance discharging through a resistance is T = RC. Find an expression for the half-life of the voltage in terms of R and C.
