Question

In a series circuit containing a voltage of magnitude V, a resistor of magnitude R, a capacitor of magnitude C and a switch, the capacitor is initially uncharged and the switch is closed at time t = 0 s.  The charge on the capacitor is

kropot72 · Answer

The equation for the charge as a function of time is
$$q=CV(1-e ^{-\frac{t}{CR}})$$
