Question

The time in which capacitor gets discharged up to _____of its initial voltage.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, it is safe to say that the time it takes for a capacitor to discharge is 5 time constants. To calculate the time constant of a capacitor, the formula is τ=RC. This value yields the time (in seconds) that it takes a capacitor to discharge to 63% of the voltage that is charging it up.

Answer 2

Answer:

After one time constant, a capacitor will have discharged to (100 - 63.2) 36.8% of the initial stored charge.
