: In an exponential expression such as A=be^-(t/RC) , we cannot attach units to the exponent ^-(t/RC)because a base, such as e, can only be raised to a pure number. Consequently, if the variable t in this equation is measured in seconds, what does this imply about the units on the product RC? This question is from textbook

SINCE THE NUMBER SHOULD BE DIMENSION LESS,IF NUMERATOR T IS IN SEC.THE DENOMINATOR
RC SHOULD ALSO BE IN SEC.
