Question

In an RC circuit as depicted in the figure above, what happens to the time required for the capacitor to be charged to half its maximum value if either the resistance or capacitance is increased with the same applied voltage? (Select all that apply.)

A.Increasing the resistance increases the time.

B.Increasing the resistance decreases the time.

C.Increasing the capacitance increases the time

D.Increasing the capacitance decreases the time.

Answer 1

time constant = R* C

greater the time constant, greater time it will take to charge

Answers are :
A.Increasing the resistance increases the time.
C.Increasing the capacitance increases the time
