In this video, the time constant for the capacitor is calculated.
Time Constant is denoted by the symbol tau τ
τ = R*C
Where R = value of the resistor
and C = value of capacitor

Capacitor ESR
A real capacitor has a series resistance which is due to the imperfect manufacturing process and also because of the cost regulations.
lower ESR = Better Capcitor = Higher Cost
A lower ESR capacitor is better but the manufacturing cost will also be on the higher side. So, there is a compromise made between ESR and cost.
Capacitor
A physical device capable of storing energy in the form of the electric field in the dielectric medium when voltage is applied across it.
