While a capacitor is being charged, the current flowing through it as a function of time is shown below, for all times t > 0. i(t) = 20 e(−3100 · t) mA (Here t is in seconds.) What is the charge q(t) on the capacitor as a function of time, for all times t > 0, assuming that the capacitor is initially uncharged (i.e., q(0) = 0)?
