Voltage across C for a High Time Constant RC Circuit

It's Assume a simple RC Seriesseries circuit, with. Below are screenshots of voltage being measured across the Capacitorcapacitor.

Voltage across C for a High Time Constant RC Circuit

Input voltage is of pulse type with the following Parametersparameters:

  • V_on=5V\$V_{on}=5V\$
  • V_off=0V\$V_{off}=0V\$
  • Pulse Duration=20 msDuration \$= 20 ms\$ (On Time)
  • Time Period=60msPeriod = \$60ms\$ (Off+On Time)

And RC are as Followsfollows:

  • R=1M\$R=1M\Omega\$
  • C=10u\$C=10uF\$

And howHow do I calculate the approximate steady state value ~1.67V  ?

PS: I could not use the circuitlabCircuitLabs simulator as it has only a square pulse input signal.
