Homework Statement
The discharge of a capacitor through a resistor is analogous to radioactive decay.
Write down the equation for capacitor discharge which is analogous to [itex] A = \lambda N[/itex].
Explain the analogy between A and the subject of your equation.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The only equation I can think of is [itex] Q = Q_0 e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}[/itex] and the similar ones for voltage and current but this can't be the one which is analogous to that equation because it is analogous to [itex] N = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}[/itex].
