What is the term for the time it takes for a charged capacitor in an RC circuit to discharge to 36.8% of its initial value of stored charge?
One time constant
During discharge in an RC circuit, one time constant (τ = RC) is the time for the capacitor's charge (and voltage) to decrease to 1/e (approx. 36.8%) of its initial amount.
