In @Priyanka's explanation she wrote current it must be replace by voltage.

Like 1 Ts 63.2% of max voltage.

Mathematical constant e, specifically 1-e^{-1}, more specifically as voltage to charge the capacitor versus time.

Charging V(t) = V0 (1-e^{-t/tau}).

Tau = RC.

V (Capacitor) = V(1-e^[-t/T]).

Put [t=T].

V(c) = V(1-e^[-1]).

As we know e^[-1] = 0.37 above answer will be 0.63.

Similarly put [t = 5T].

V(c) = V(1-e^[-5T/T]).

V(c) = V(1-e^[-5]).

V(c) = V(0. 9932) which is nearly equal to 100% it means at 5T we are getting the capacitor fully charged.

Hi, @Birendra Das.

How about it is in 6RC, 99.75 percent is much closer to 100 rather than 99.32 percent?

I don't understand the question clearly. Can anyone explain me?
