It has already been shown the the frequency
response of the RC circuit is given by H(ω ) = 1/
(1+jω RC)
Using Fourier Transform tables it can then be
shown that the impulse response of an RC circuit is
h(t)=(1/RC) e-t/RC

Pole Position for RC circuit
The impulse response of the RC circuit is
h(t)=e-t/RC
There is no oscillating frequency
component, so ω =0. The pole is therefore
be positioned on the real axis of the
simplified s-plane representation.

Proof: RC (s + 1/RC)
Pole occurs when |H(s)| = ∞, i.e. s = -1/RC
No imaginary term
Pole always on LHS of s-plane since R and C
always positive (System stable or unstable?)
