In the capacitor discharge formula 
the symbol 
represents
A
the time it takes for C to loose 
charge
charge B
the time it takes for C to loose charge 
C
the time it takes for C to loose exponentially all of its initial charge.
D
the time it takes c to loose 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
is RC, i.e., time constant. After one time constant, capacitor looses 0.67 part of its initial charge.
