Question

The trick to find the time constant here is to consider only the charging process. Let t = 0 be the time when V = 0. In other words, consider only the charging part of the curve:

Vertical scale : 5 V/major division
Horizontal scale : 3 ms/major division





We can now use the same procedure as before to determine ! Since the curve is quite flat at the end of the graph, you may assume that that is V

Find the time constant (in ms –NOTE UNITS!) for the display. (This question allows for 10% error since it is based on reading a graph).

Explanation / Answer

time constant = 3*5 =15ms
