Answer:

I = E/R e^{-t/RC}

Step-by-step explanation:

In a capacitor charging circuit you must have a DC power source, the capacitor, a resistor, and a switch. When closing the circuit,

E -q / c-IR = 0

we replace the current by its expression and divide by the resistance

I = dq / dt

dq / dt = E / R -q / RC

dq / dt = (CE -q) / RC

we solve the equation

dq / (Ce-q) = -dt / RC

we integrate and evaluate for the charge between 0 and q and for the time 0 and t

ln (q-CE / -CE) = -1 /RC (t -0)

eliminate the logarithm

q - CE = CE
e^(-t/RC)

q = CE (1 + 1/RC e^{-t/RC} )

In general the teams measure the current therefore we take the derivative to find the current

i = CE (e^{-t/RC} / RC)

I = E/R e^{-t/RC}

This expression is the one that describes the charge of a condensate in a DC circuit
