Explanatory note.
τ = R·C = 1000 ms;63%≈1000 ms、95%≈3000 ms。

At a glance:Combines capacitors; τ = R·C for RC circuits. Complements capacitance and rc-time-constant.

Formula

1/C_eq = Σ1/C_i (series).

C_eq = ΣC_i (parallel).

τ = R·C.

How to Use

  1. Enter the capacitor parameters.
  2. The tool returns the result.

Case Studies

R=1e3, C=1e-6

τ = 1 ms.

FAQ

Series vs parallel?

Series reduces total C; parallel adds them.
