How do you calculate capacitor charge?

This relation is described by the formula q=CV, where q is the charge stored, C is the capacitance, and V is the voltage applied.

What is 1 time constant 1t of a capacitor?

The time constant of a resistor-capacitor series combination is defined as the time it takes for the capacitor to deplete 36.8% (for a discharging circuit) of its charge or the time it takes to reach 63.2% (for a charging circuit) of its maximum charge capacity given that it has no initial charge.

How long will it take a capacitor in a charging RC circuit to charge to 63% of the maximum possible potential difference?

In an RC circuit, the product of the resistance in ohms and the capacitance in farads is called the time constant, T = RC. A capacitor will charge or discharge to 63.2 % of its final value in 1 T. It takes about 5 T to charge to the source voltage.
