everybody help me out with this how do you calculate the time constant for charging and discharging of capacitor in a given circuit is the time constant same for bot charging and discharging or different explain with an example and diagram !!!!JEE fast approaching rates assured!!!

well to find time const..its given by the formula ReqC for a capacitor circuit....now to find Req across the capacitor short the batt and cal the Req...i.e place a blanc wire in place of batt and cal....and C is the capacitance....hope u got it...

perfectly same...only the charge varies in case of chargin and dischargin.. hope u know tht formula....

well the formula of tow time const changes...L/R I think...

I think then L(dI/dt) acts as effective resistance

yeah you are rite but check out OBjective physics if you have one of arihant he has given that time constants of charging and discharging are not the same!!!!
