Note 1 to entry: The time constant of an exponentially varying quantity is the duration of a time interval at the end of which the absolute value of the difference between the quantity and the limit has decreased to 1/e of the absolute value of this difference at the beginning of the time interval, where e is the base of natural logarithms.

Note 2 to entry: The time constant of a damped oscillation is the inverse of the damping coefficient.

Note 1 à l'article: La constante de temps d'une grandeur variant exponentiellement est la durée d'un intervalle de temps au bout duquel la valeur absolue de la différence entre la grandeur et la limite atteint 1/e fois la valeur absolue de cette différence au début de l'intervalle de temps, où e est la base des logarithmes népériens.

Note 2 à l'article: La constante de temps d'une oscillation amortie est l'inverse du coefficient d'amortissement.
