In which of the two circuits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its question 8 please

OpenStudy (ash2326):

The smaller the time constant, the faster the circuit will reach to steady state (which is the condition of capacitors getting charged and current reducing to 0) Can you find now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the parallel one so the second one circuit B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because in parallel connection the current changes and its not the same through out the circuit!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am I right?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

Can you tell me the RC constant for both the cases?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean in RC

OpenStudy (ash2326):

RC is time constant

OpenStudy (ash2326):

brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tyt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I don't know how to calculate the rc!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ash2326 yeah i don't know how to find the RC :(

OpenStudy (ash2326):

it's simple, what's the value of R and C in the two circuits? R is total resistance if you remove C with shorts and C is total capacitance if R is short

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no nmbers!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry if I can't follow what you are saying!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I'm really just confused
