A physical interpretation of fractional calculus in observables terms: analysis of the fractional time constant and the transitory response

This work presents the analysis of the fractional time constant and the transitory response (delay, rise, and settling times) of a RC circuit as a physical interpretation of fractional calculus in observables terms, the definition of Caputo fractional derivative is applied. The physical interpretation of these observables allows a clearer understanding of the concept of fractional derivative.
