Charging and Discharging a Capacitor in a Circuit

Watch this video to learn about a new mathematical concept that appears in this context: the exponential function. It is a function that appears frequently in physics when growth or decay processes are described. Here, the growth and decay refers to the amount of charge stored on the capacitor. The time it takes to charge and discharge a capacitor is characterized by a time that is directly proportional to the capacitance.
