Pre-Lab Questions: RC Circuits Are Used 1. in Traffic Signals. 2. in Pacemaker 3. in Audio Equipment

An RC circuit contains a resistor, capacitor, and DC voltage source. The resistor resists the flow of charge carriers, while the capacitor stores energy in an electric field. RC circuits are used in traffic signals, pacemakers, and audio equipment. The time constant is the unit of RC, measured in seconds, representing the time required for the capacitor to be charged to 63.2% of the applied voltage.
