4. You can easily find the time constant if you are given a graph of voltage across a discharging capacitor as a function of time. When t = Tc = RC, the voltage across the capacitor is AV (t = Tc) = AV, e¹≈ 0.37 AV Therefore the time constant is just how long it takes for AV (t) to reach 37% of its initial value.
