A circuit has a resistance of 2 ohms connected in series with a capacitance of 6F. Calculate the discharging time constant.(a) 3(b) 1(c) 12(d) 8This question was posed to me in my homework.This intriguing question comes from Discharge of a Capacitor Through a Resistor topic in division Capacitance and Capacitors of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer» RIGHT option is (c) 12

Explanation: The discharging time CONSTANT in a circuit consisting of a capacitor and resistor in SERIES is the product of the resistance and CAPACITANCE = 2*6 = 12.
