1. Please derive the charge on a capacitor as function of time q(t) = q0*e-t/RC and the current in the circuit as function of time i(t)=(V0/R)*e-t/RC by solving the differential equation constructed with Kirchhoff's second rule after analyzing a charged RC circuit without connected to battery. 2. Please derive the unit of τ=RC using both the units of resistor and capacitor and explain the meaning of τ.
