to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (infarads), i.e.
It is the time required to charge the capacitor, through the resistor, by 63.2 percent of the
difference between the initial value and final value or discharge the capacitor to 36.8
percent. This value is derived from the mathematical constant e, specifically

Cutoff frequency[edit]
The time constant
the RC circuit, by
or, equivalently,
where resistance in ohms and capacitance in farads yields the time constant
in seconds or the frequency in Hz.
Short conditional equations:
fc in Hz = 159155 / in s
in s = 159155 / fc in Hz
