Problem
A capacitor discharges through a resistor. The discharge current follows the function
I
(
t
)
=
I
0
e
−
t
/
τ
I(t) = I_{0} e^{-t/\tau}
I
(
t
)
=
I
0
e
−
t
/
τ
, where
I
0
=
10
A
I_{0} = 10\,\text{A}
I
0
=
10
A
and the time constant
τ
=
2
s
\tau = 2\,\text{s}
τ
=
2
s
. Find the amount of charge that flows out of the capacitor between
t
=
0
t = 0
t
=
0
and
t
=
2
s
t = 2\,\text{s}
t
=
2
s
.
