Answer #1

The time constant of a circuit represents its time response when a input voltage is applied to it. It is the time interval during which the capacitor is charged to 0.63 times the maximum charge on the capacitor. Since the time constant of any electronic circuit depends upon the reactive components either capacitor, resistor or inductor connected to it and how they are connected to it, the time constant is different for two different RC circuits.

Note :- The main point to remember in circuits is to look at how the components of the circuit are connected, are they in parallel or in series, which component is connected before which component - knowing only this solves the circuit for you instantly.
