Question 247

What is the time constant of a circuit having two 220-microfarad capacitors and two 1-megohm resistors, all in parallel?

  1. 55 seconds
  2. 110 seconds
  3. 440 seconds
  4. 220 secondsCorrect answer

Explanation

Capacitances in parallel add, giving 440 µF, while equal resistances in parallel halve, giving 500 kΩ. Their product is 220 seconds.
