Question

An uncharged capacitor and a resistor are connected in series to a battery, as shown in the Figure. If the switch s is set on at t = 0, and you are given the values of ? = 6.0V, C = 10.0 ?F and R = 6.0 x 10^5 ? the current in the circuit as a function of time I(t) is a) I(t) = (1.0?A) (1- e^-t/6s), b) I(t) = (1.0 ?A) (e^-t/6s), c) I(t) = (10 ?A)(1-e^-t/6s), d) I(t) = (10 ?A) e^-t/6s.
