Capacitor discharge time - how to calculate with examples

The video tutorial explains the behavior of capacitors in circuits, focusing on how they charge and discharge over time. It introduces the concept of the time constant, which is the product of resistance and capacitance, and describes how this affects the rate of voltage change in a capacitor. The tutorial provides examples with different resistor and capacitor values, illustrating how these components influence the time taken for a capacitor to charge or discharge. The video also explains that the voltage across a capacitor follows an exponential curve, never reaching 100% but approaching it closely over several time constants.
