A first-order circuit is generally considered very close to its final steady-state value after approximately?

  • AOne time constant
  • BTwo time constants
  • CFive time constants
  • DTen milliseconds in every circuit
Report an error
Correct Answer: C. Five time constants
Explanation: After five time constants, a first-order response has completed more than 99% of its total transition and is commonly treated as essentially settled.
