If the capacitance C and resistance R of an RC circuit are given, what is the time constant (τ) of the circuit?

If the capacitance C and resistance R of an RC circuit are given, what is the time constant (τ) of the circuit?

τ=R+C

τ=R−C

τ=RC

τ= R/C

Explanation

If the capacitance C and resistance R of an RC circuit are given, τ= RC is the time constant (τ) of the circuit.
