Problem

A designer needs an RC circuit that reaches 63%63\% of its final charge in 5.0 ms5.0\,\text{ms} using a single 1.0 μF1.0\,\mu\text{F} capacitor. Available resistors follow the E12 series (10 Ω, 12 Ω, 15 Ω, … up to 8.2 MΩ). Identify the smallest standard resistor value that will meet or exceed the required timing specification.
