RC Time Constant Calculator
RC Time Constant: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers resistance and capacitance. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published.
RC Time Constant Calculator is a planned calculator in the engineering section of Super Calculator, covering electrical engineering.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: resistance, capacitance, supply voltage, target voltage or time and filter role.
Outputs: time constant, voltage at a time, time to reach a voltage, cutoff frequency, charge and discharge curve points and settling time.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: tau = RC. Charging follows V(t) = Vs(1 - e^(-t/tau)) reaching 63.2% at one time constant and 99.3% at five. Discharge follows V(t) = V0 e^(-t/tau). Low pass cutoff frequency fc = 1/(2 pi RC).
