= Half time (electronics)
{wiki=Half_time_(electronics)}
In electronics, "half-time" generally refers to the time required for the voltage across a capacitor to decay to half of its initial value during discharge, or for a signal to reach half of its maximum value in certain contexts. It is a concept often associated with the behavior of capacitors in RC (resistor-capacitor) circuits. **1. Capacitor Discharge:** When a charged capacitor discharges through a resistor, the voltage across the capacitor decreases exponentially.
