7.1 The Source-Free
RC Circuit (2)
The natural response of a circuit refers to the behavior
(in terms of voltages and currents) of the circuit itself,
with no external sources of excitation.
The time constant of a circuit is the time required for the
response to decay by a factor of 1/e or 36.8% of its initial value.
 v decays faster for small t and slower for large t.
