Accepted Answer

In general, we consider a capacitor to be fully discharged after every 5 time constants.A capacitor is an electric device used to store an electric charge. Capacitors consist of one or more pair of conductors separated by an insulator. These devices stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two close surfaces that are insulated from each other.A capacitor can be charged and discharged. When the power supply is connected to the capacitor, then it is charged. However, when the power supply is removed from the capacitor, the discharging phase begins. A fully discharged capacitor is that which maintains zero volts across its terminals. In RC discharging circuit, it is noticed that after every five time constant, the voltage across the capacitor's plates becomes more less than 1% of the initial value. Hence, a capacitor can be fully discharged after every five time constant. Learn more about discharging capacitors here:https://brainly.com/question/28216285#SPJ4
