    Time constant of an LRC circuit

    Hmm maybe I'll not representing this right... Say I have an equation of the form A*exp(-a*x)*cos(b*x+c) for an LCR where A,a,b,c are parameters. Then 'a' corresonds to 1/(TimeConstant) but there should be a formula similar to 1/RC for an RC circuit to predict the value of that constant. I'm...

    Time constant of an LRC circuit

    I'm having trouble finding an equation for the time constant of an LRC circuit as a function of L, R and C. (In the same way that RC is time constant for an RC circuit) Does anyone know what the equation is? Thanks!
