Answer #1

From the formula stated above we can see that the time constant in the circuit is not actually a quotient on in LC circuit ,how is that? Quotient is the result of divisibility, but in an RC circuit there is no division of the resistance and the capacitance which makes it not a quotient at all except in the inductor resistor formula for time constant.

Thank you . Give me a like.!!!.
