Introduction of Capacitor Charge and Time Constant Calculator

The time constant of an RC element (low pass) is the product of R * C. Its unit of measurement is seconds. The symbol is the Greek letter ? (tau) The time constant is required to calculate the state of charge at a specific point in time when charging or discharging the capacitor. After a period of 3 time constants, the output signal has approx. 95% of the size of the input signal. After 5 ? the charge is approx. 99.3%.
