The formula to calculate the Time Constant (TC) from Frequency (f) is:
\[
TC = \frac{1}{f}
\]
Where:
\( TC \) is the Time Constant (seconds)
\( f \) is the Frequency (Hz)
Definition
Time Constant (TC): The time constant derived from the frequency, measured in seconds.
Frequency (f): The total frequency, measured in Hertz (Hz).
Significance: Calculating the time constant from frequency is important in various fields such as electronics and signal processing. It helps in understanding the behavior of systems and circuits, particularly in relation to their response times and stability.
Example
Let's say the frequency (f) is 50 Hz. Using the formula:
\[
TC = \frac{1}{50} = 0.02
\]
So, the time constant is 0.02 seconds.

Convert Time Constant to Frequency
Definition: Converting the time constant of a system to its corresponding frequency.
Formula: \( f = \frac{1}{2 \pi \tau} \)
f: Frequency (Hz)
\( \tau \): Time constant (seconds)
Example: \( f = \frac{1}{2 \pi \times 0.1} \)
f: Frequency
\( \tau \): 0.1 seconds
Frequency to Time Constant
Definition: Converting the frequency of a system to its corresponding time constant.
Formula: \( \tau = \frac{1}{2 \pi f} \)
\( \tau \): Time constant (seconds)
f: Frequency (Hz)
Example: \( \tau = \frac{1}{2 \pi \times 10} \)
\( \tau \): Time constant
f: 10 Hz
