T=RC
So wil get T=0.672ms
1ms=15v
for 0.672ms wil get 10.08v
So wil get T=0.672ms
1ms=15v
for 0.672ms wil get 10.08v

When the switch is closed the capacitor starts discharging through resistor. The discharge equation is. Vc=Vs*e^ (-t/rc). Substituting for Vc=15v, t=1ms, r=1. 2k & c=0. 56uf. We arrive at Vo=3. 387V.
Here 1ms specified is the elapsed time after the switch is closed, and not the time constant to check with.

TRUE.
After closing switch, the capacitor starts discharging.
Vc=Vs*e^(-t/T).
Vc=15*e^(-10^-3/(.56*10^-6*1.2*10^3))=3.387V.
15-3.387=11.61V.

Vc=15*e^(-10^-3/(.56*10^-6*1.2*10^3))=3.387V.
15-3.387=11.61V.

@All.
You don't need to subtract 3.387 to 15. 3.387 is the value of voltage in the capacitor after 1ms. Just follow the equation Vc = E(e^-(t/T)) for a discharging capacitor.
