Time constant =r*c.

Swamy meghavath said:   10 years ago
t = r*c.
t = 20*2.2.
t = 480.

Because capacitor has of property of charging and discharging initially it starts charging from 0 hence the circuit has very low and resistance hence that is short circuit I flows through the circuit.

Why should a capacitor acts as short circuit at initial switch on period in a circuit?

Sumanta ku. sahoo said:   1 decade ago
We know time constant = R*C.

So = 220*2.2 = 484.

Its should 484 or we came choose near value.

Time constant =r*c
=220*2.2=480

SATYAM MISHRA said:   1 decade ago
This is right ans-484

T = RC = 220x2.2 = 484

Time constant is equal to multiplication of resistance and capacitance.

Siva naik said:   1 decade ago
t=rc
time constant = resistance*capacitance
