NOUN
- the ratio of the inductance of a circuit in henries to its resistance in ohms
- (electronics) the time required for the current or voltage in a circuit to rise or fall exponentially through approximately 63 per cent of its amplitude
How To Use time constant In A Sentence
- The signals were amplified, rectified, and integrated on a moving-time-average basis, with a time constant of 100 milliseconds.
- Isolated retinal bipolar cells from tiger salamanders act like adaptive filters: at resting potential, their response gain and time constant are maximal, and transfer functions are lowpass.
- The open time constants are invariant to ligand concentrations, suggesting that ligand binds exclusively to the closed channel.
- Furthermore, the major disadvantage of the field - oriented control is its sensitivity to rotor time constant variation.
- I don't think it gets sequestered at any point however – the time constant for it to get outgassed is very long compared to the numbers observed. Water on the Moon: What Does it Mean? | Universe Today
- A climatologist is greatly concerned with the time constants of the energy reservoirs of the world.
- The integrator time constant is tunable by varying a reference bias current.
- One object of the invention is to dynamically reduce resistance in order to decrease the time constant during the signal transition for allowing a more rapid slew of the signal from one logic state to another.
- So I took the compander circuit of the Roland VP - 330, and adjusted time constants for an application where input- and output waveforms aren't similar anymore.
- Furthermore, the major disadvantage of the field - oriented control is its sensitivity to rotor time constant variation.
