Question 234946: 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? Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since "seconds" (units) is in the numerator
the denominator MUST be "seconds" to cancel it out.
.
Therefore, the units of
RC must be "seconds"
