Answer:

Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit from point one point to another. This is carried by electrically charged particles within the circuit. Current is represented by the symbol I and its unit measured in Amperes. It is therefore related to the voltage and resistance of the circuit. If the current in the circuit reduces, the rate at which the charge and current on the capacitor reduces also proportionally in an exponential manner.

Explanation:

Since a decrease in the flow of current in the circuit is observed, the implication for the rate at which the charge and voltage on the capacitor is also an exponential decrease in the rate of flow with time. This is because the electric current is directly proportional to the electric charge and the time.
