Capacitance using Time Constant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Capacitance = Time Constant/Resistance
C = τ/R
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Capacitance - (Measured in Farad) - Capacitance is the capability of a material object or device to store electric charge. It is measured by the change in charge in response to a difference in electric potential.
Time Constant - (Measured in Second) - Time constant is the response representing the elapsed time required for the system response to decay to zero if the system had continued to decay at the initial rate.
Resistance - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω).
