For a circuit made up of a capacitance C and a resistance R, which expression gives its frequency?

Correct answer D. 1/RC

Explanation

The product RC is the time constant of the circuit, with units of seconds, so its reciprocal 1/RC has units of s⁻¹ and characterises the circuit's frequency response.
