Before you use the answer
Check the component connections and unit prefixes before copying a result into a circuit notebook. These tools describe ideal, introductory circuits. They do not replace datasheets, thermal checks, isolation requirements or qualified design work, and they are not intended for mains installation decisions.
On time cannot exceed the full period in this definition.

Why might a result be approximate?
Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
