Transient time for an RC circuit is the same as the time constant.
To check: Whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 1TFQ
The given statement is
Explanation of Solution
A given circuit is a RC integrator circuit. Consider the circuit of an RC integrator shown below.
Here, input
In an RC circuit, the time taken for a capacitor to get fully charged or discharged is called transient time and it is expressed as 5 times the time constant of the circuit. The time constant of the circuit for a given value of resistance and capacitance is given by,
Hence, the transient time,
Thus, transient time and time constant are not the same.

- In electronics, a clipper is a circuit designed to prevent a signal from exceeding a predetermined reference voltage level. A clipper does not distort the remaining part of the applied waveform. Clipping circuits are used to select, for purposes of transmission, that part of a signal waveform which lies above or below the predetermined reference voltage level. A biased clipper comes in handy when a small portion of positive or negative half cycles of the signal voltage is to be removed. ... Thus a biased negative clipper removes input voltage when the input signal voltage becomes greater than the battery voltage. QUESTION: Where do we exactly need to use a clipper circuit?
