Thanks, that makes sense. I forgot that the current through a capacitor can change instantaneously.

Thank you very much for the response. I seem to be getting the correct answer (~1.845 J which is within my allowed margin of error) now when each power value is multiplied by dt. However, I'm a bit confused as to why the initial current would be 6A, why is it not the steady state value of 0A?

Homework Statement Homework Equations v(t) = v0*e^(-t/RC) i(t) = C*(dv/dt) E = .5*C*V^2 P=v*i The Attempt at a Solution I'm having trouble with part e. As far as I can tell, all of my equations are correct, but the total energy delivered is notably less than the initial energy; I was hoping...
