The RC Time Constant (contd)
{"Image DocumentName": "The RC Time Constant (contd)", "Image ImageDescription": "RC Charging Curves. After a period equivalent to 4 time constants, (4T) the capacitor in this RC charging circuit is virtually fully charged and the voltage across the capacitor is now approx 99% of its maximum value, 0.99Vs. The time period taken for the capacitor to reach this 4T point is known as the Transient Period. After a time of 5T the capacitor is now fully charged and the voltage across the capacitor, (VC) is equal to the supply voltage, (Vs). As the capacitor is fully charged no more current flows in the circuit. The time period after this 5T point is known as the Steady State Period.
