Definitions:

Total Capacitance

In parallel circuits, it's the sum of individual capacitances of all capacitors, and in series circuits, it's calculated through the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.

μ F

Microfarad, a unit of capacitance equal to one millionth (10^-6) of a farad, symbolized as µF.

RC Time Constant

The time necessary to charge or discharge a capacitor when it is connected in series with resistance.

Time Constants

The time required for a system to change significantly from one state to another, often used in the context of charging and discharging in RC (Resistor-Capacitor) and RL (Resistor-Inductor) circuits.
