Au moment de la charge, quel pourcentage de la tension appliquée le condensateur d'un circuit RC atteint-il après deux constantes de temps?

  1. A86,5 %
  2. B63,2 %
  3. C95 %
  4. D36,8 %

Correct answer: A — 86,5 %. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

After two time constants, the capacitor in an RC circuit reaches 86.5% of the supply voltage because it charges rapidly at first and then slows down, gaining about 63.2% of the remaining gap during each time interval. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
