-- The quantity 'RC' has the physical dimensions of Time.

-- If the capacitor is charging through a resistor, then 'RC' is the time it takes to

charge up to (1 - 1/e) of the voltage it still has to go to become fully-charged.

-- If the capacitor is discharging through a resistor, then 'RC' is the time it takes to

discharge to 1/e of its present voltage.

-- ' e ' is the base of natural logarithms, approximately 2.71828...

-- 'RC' is called the 'time constant' of the resistor/capacitor combination.

Does the angle of a pendulum affect the period?

Yes. The ideal pendulum consists of a massive bob suspended from a frictionless pivot by a massless string. For small angles the period is given by the formula: t = 2*pi*sqrt(l/g) However, the formula depends on the assumption that, for the angle of displacement x (measured in radians), sin(x) approximately equals x. For large x the approximation does not hold true and so the formula needs amending. For x = 0.4 radian, the period is about 1% greater than that given by the unadjusted formula.
