Explanation:
Take at look to the picture I attached you, using Kirchhoff's current law we get:
This is a separable first order differential equation, let's solve it step by step:
Express the equation this way:
integrate both sides, the left side will be integrated from an initial voltage v to a final voltage V, and the right side from an initial time 0 to a final time t:
Evaluating the integrals:
natural logarithm to both sides in order to isolate V:
Where the term RC is called time constant and is given by:
