To solve this problem we will apply the expression of charge per unit of time in a capacitor with a given resistance. Mathematically said expression is given as

q(t) = e^{-\frac{t}{(R*C)}}

Here,

q = Charge

t = Time

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

When the charge reach its half value it has passed 10ms, then the equation is,

\frac{1}{2}*q_{final} = e^{-\frac{0.01}{(R*C)}}

Ln(\frac{1}{2}) = -\frac{0.01}{RC}

- RC = \frac{0.01}{Ln(1/2)}

RC = 0.014s

We know that RC is equal to the time constant, then

T = RC  = 0.014s = 14ms

Therefore the time constant for the process is about 14ms

What is a constellation as astronomers define it today? What does it mean when an astronomer says, “I saw a comet in Orion last
MissTica

Explanation:

Constellation: The complete sky has been divided in 88 different areas, in a way we have divided Earth in countries, not necessarily having same shapes and size. These 88 areas are known as constellations. These contains a lot of stars. When we join the brightest stars together we can imagine a shape out of them which is called as Asterism. Most of the people are unaware of this difference. Some of the famous constellations are Orion, Taurus, Gemini, Hydra, Ursa Major etc.

When an astronomer says that there is a comet is in the Orion, he means that a comet is in the boundaries of Orion constellation.
