i v(t) e e/R 0.63e 0.63 e/R t t t=RC=t t=RC=t Charging a Capacitor Time constant (t): time needs to charge a capacitor to 63% of its full charge. The larger the RC, the longer it takes to charge a capacitor. The larger the R value, the smaller the current is in the circuit. The larger the C value, the more the charge the capacitor can hold
