Capacitor charging:

\begin{equation} Q = Q_0 (1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}) \end{equation}

where Q is capacitor change at time t, and Q_0 initial change, and RC the resistance and capacitance. Where, RC is called the “time constant”.

\begin{equation} I = \frac{V}{R} (e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}) \end{equation}

Note! these are inverse relationships: as a capacitor CHARGE, the current DROPS.
