Homework Statement
If you have this RC Circuit (ignore the yellow path of current):

When you are calculating time constant=RC, what would you use for R?
R1=100 ohms, or Req=300 ohms
Homework Equations
time constant = RC
The Attempt at a Solution
I would think its just the 100 ohms, because initially, the current is only flowing through that resistor.
