Homework Statement



Find the voltage across a capacitor in an RC Circuit, using [V]_{}[/c] (0) = 1, [V]_{}[/i] n(t)=t.

Homework Equations


dV/dt = (1/RC)(V)=(1/RC)([V]_{}[/in])


The Attempt at a Solution


New to this site: I honestly don't know where to start. Done well in Calculus. Feel DifEq is like a breed of its own..aha

I know you have to use this type of an equation: VC = V0(1− e−t /τ ) where τ = RC and V0 is the initial voltage
