In this post I will explain you the concept of Tau, or τ, which is the Greek letter we often see in electrical and electronic calculations. It represents what we call the “time constant” of a circuit which is basically a measure of how the circuit behaves over time. Now, when we talk about a […]

RC Time Constant Circuit Explained with Calculations
When we talk about charging a capacitor it is not something that can happen instantly. This is because capacitors have specific current-voltage i-v characteristics that shift depending on time. If you connect a resistor R and a capacitor C together into a circuit, you will get what is called an RC charging circuit. This setup […]
