Charge on Capacitor during Discharging (RC Circuit):

A capacitor of capacitance with charge C is being discharged through a resistor of resistance R. A switch S is also connected in series with the capacitor. The switch is initially open. At t=0, the switch is closed. The charge on the capacitor at any time t>0 is given by:

where and Q_i is the initial charge on the capacitor.

Note that the capacitor begins charging at t = 0.

This is simply a discharging circuit.
