RC Time Constant with Multiple RHardQuestion 31594

Question

Two resistors R each are in parallel, then in series with capacitor C connected to battery. Time constant is:
  1. A
    RC
  2. B
    RC/2
    Correct
  3. C
    2RC
  4. D
    RC/4

Correct answer

RC/2

Explanation

Two R in parallel = R/2. Time constant τ = (R/2)·C = RC/2.
