Capacitor short circuit discharge time

As we saw in the previous tutorial, in a RC Discharging Circuit the time constant ( τ ) is still equal to the value of 63%. Then for a RC discharging circuit that is initially fully charged, the voltage across the capacitor after one time constant, 1T, has dropped by 63% of its initial value which is 1 – 0.63 = 0.37 or 37%of its final value.
