Find the time constant for the given R C circuits in correct order.

\(R_1=1 \Omega, R_2=2 \Omega, C_1=4 \mu \mathrm{F}, C_2=2 \mu \mathrm{F}\)

  1. A \(18,4,8 / 9\)
  2. B \(18,8 / 9,4\)
  3. C \(4,18,8 / 9\)
  4. D \(4,8 / 9,18\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(18,8 / 9,4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tau =C R \)
\( \tau_1 =\left(C_1+C_2\right)\left(R_1+R_2\right)=18 \mu \mathrm{s} \)
\( \tau_2 =\left(\frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1+C_2}\right)\left(\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}\right)=\frac{8}{6} \times \frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{9} \mu \mathrm{s} \)
\( \tau_2 =\left(C_1+C_2\right)\left(\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}\right)=(6)\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)=4 \mu \mathrm{s}\)
