Calculating Time Constant in Parallel Plates: Keeping the Capacitor Constant

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of time constants in parallel plate capacitors and how it can remain unchanged while keeping the capacitor constant. Participants seek clarification on the relationship between the time constant and capacitor values. There is confusion regarding the conditions under which the time constant can be maintained. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying principles. Overall, the topic highlights the complexities of capacitor behavior in electrical circuits.

How can a time constant, in parallel plates, be the original value without changing the capacitor?

I'm sorry I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate?
 
Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
