The time-constant is the resistance times the capacitance, so that's 47 x 47 and because the capacitance is in microfarads, the answer is in microseconds.

What is the time constant of a .05 microfarad capacitor and a 200 kilo ohm resistor connected in series?
The time constant of a 0.05 microfarad capacitor and a 200 K ohm resistor in series is simply their product, 0.05 times 200,000, or 10,000 microseconds, or 10 milliseconds. (Farads times ohms = seconds)
What is one time constant of a 4.7 μF capacitor in series with a 22 kΩ resistor?
The time constant of a 4.7 µF capacitor in series with a 22 KΩ resistor is about 103 ms.
What is the time constant of a series RC circuit consisting of a 2000 ohm resistor and a 10 microfarad capasitor?
In an RC network,the Time Constant τ (tau) is calculated as shown below. τ = RC For a 10 kOhm and 100 microFarad RC network: τ = 10000 x 100x10-6 τ = 1 second
How do you discharge 25 Kvar capacitor in 690Volt system?
This capacitor carries a current of 25,000/690 or 36.2 amps and its impedance (reactance) is 19 ohms. The capacitance is 1/(2.pi.50.19) or 0.000167 Farad, on a 50 Hz system. The time-constant is CR so that if a 20,000 ohm resistor is placed across the capacitor the time-constant is 3.3 seconds. The voltage is reduced by 99% after 5 time-constants or in this case 17 seconds. If the discharge resistor is permanently in circuit it dissipates 690^2 / 20000 or 24 watts.
Is capacitor discharging time is equal with charging time or not?
The time constant is equivalent to 1/(R*C); since C (the capacitance of the capacitor) is not changing, yes, the charging and discharging times will be the same, provided the Thevenin resistance is the same as well - if you charge a capacitor using a AA battery, then remove the battery, and discharge through a resistor, you have changed the Thevenin resistance, thus the discharge time will NOT be equal.
What is the time constant of a 0.001 microfarad capacitor and a 15000 ohm resistor connected in series in a dc circuit?
The same as the time constant of a 2.7 microfarad capacitor and a 33 ohm resistor connected in series.
What is the time constant of a .05 microfarad capacitor and a 200 kilo ohm resistor connected in series?
The time constant of a 0.05 microfarad capacitor and a 200 K ohm resistor in series is simply their product, 0.05 times 200,000, or 10,000 microseconds, or 10 milliseconds. (Farads times ohms = seconds)
A 10 microfard capacitor is charged through a 10 ohm resistor. How long will it take for the capacitor t fully charge?
If a 10 microfarad capacitor is charged through a 10 ohm resistor, it will theoretically never reach full charge. Practically, however, it can be considered fully charged after 5 time constants. One time constant is farads times ohms, so the time constant for a 10 microfarad capacitor and a 10 ohm resistor is 100 microseconds. Full charge will be about 500 microseconds.
What is the time constant of a series rc circuit consisting of a 2000 ohm resistor and a 10 microfarad capacitor?
2*103*10-5 = 2*10-2 Seconds = 20 milliseconds
What is function of capacitor in 555 IC?
the capacitor and its associated resistor set the time constant.
What is one time constant of a 4.7 μF capacitor in series with a 22 kΩ resistor?
The time constant of a 4.7 µF capacitor in series with a 22 KΩ resistor is about 103 ms.
How do you change time constant of capacitor?
In theory ... on paper where you have ideal components ... a capacitor all by itself doesn't have a time constant. It charges instantly. It only charges exponentially according to a time constant when it's in series with a resistor, and the time constant is (RC). Keeping the same capacitor, you change the time constant by changing the value of the resistor.
Why is capacitor leakage a problem in a RC timer circuit?
Because the timing is set by the time constant of a resistor and a capacitor. With R in ohms and C in Farads, the time-constant is RC in seconds. If the capacitor leaks the timing will be wrong.
What is the act of recovering energy from Capacitor?
A: It is called discharging a capacitor. The charge will follow the rules of a time constant set up by the series resistor and the capacitor. 1 time constant 63% of the charge will be reached and continue at that rate.
What is the time constant of a 2 microfarad capacitor in series with a 2 kilo ohm resistor?
Time constant = capacitance x resistance --> farads x ohms simplifies to units of seconds. (2 x 10-6 farads) x (2 x 103 ohms) = 4 x 10-3 seconds
Can a 47 microfarad capacitor in a microtimer circuit be replaced with a 470 microfarad capacitor?
No, the value is far too small. If it is the capacitor used for the timing, the time/s will be reduced to one tenth of the deisred value.
How long does it take for a battery to charge a capacitor?
Usually a tiny fraction of a second. Actually it will depend on the characteristics of the the capacitor, and of the remaining circuit (mainly, any resistor in series). The "time constant" of a capacitor with a resistor in series to charge from 0 to a fraction of (1 - 1/e), about 68%, of its final value. This time is the product of the resistance and the capacitance. After about 5 time constant, you can consider the capacitor completely loaded for all practical purposes - i.e., it will be at the same voltage as the battery.
