The video tutorial explains the behavior of a capacitor in a series circuit with a resistor and switch. It covers the concept of time constants, showing how the capacitor charges and discharges over time, following an exponential curve. The tutorial provides calculations for time constants and voltage levels at different stages, illustrating how changes in resistance and capacitance affect the charging and discharging times. Example scenarios demonstrate these principles in practical applications.
