glorim 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 Wat make is your fan? Go back to the agent to buy lor. sure have one. Cheer pal. i bought the fan $200 only 1 year,and only use it in recent 6 month, then the capacitor is fired, i 've call the agent ,they said if i need a new ,i will pay $20, i'm not sure whether it's worth to buy it in such price.

AnnaLibert 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2022 I've always wondered what "one time constant" is? and this is what i found exactly here https://mywebstats.org/what-percentage-of-the-initial-potential-remains-after-one-time-constant-has-passed/ . The time it takes to charge the capacitor to 63 .2% of the applied voltage in RC circuits (resistive and capacitive), is a time constant, which is measured in seconds. A single time constant is used to describe this duration. Meanwhile, the capacitor will be charged to 86.5% of the input voltage after two time constants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
