Problem

Two resistors of 2.0 kΩ2.0\,\text{k}\Omega and 3.0 kΩ3.0\,\text{k}\Omega are connected in parallel and placed in series with a network of two capacitors, 6.0 μF6.0\,\mu\text{F} and 12 μF12\,\mu\text{F}, that are connected in series. The combined resistor-capacitor assembly is then attached to a battery through a switch. What is the time constant of this circuit? a) 18 ms18\,\text{ms} b) 4.8 ms4.8\,\text{ms} c) 1.2 ms1.2\,\text{ms} d) 29 ms29\,\text{ms}
