2. Now we get rid of the differentials on both sides by integrating both sides. In algebra, you learned that you have to do the same thing to both sides of an equation so as not to change it. In physics, that means integrating over the same physical range on both sides. We make a choice here that at time t=0, we want there to be no charge on the plate, q(0) = 0. At some random time t in the future, the charge on the plate will simply be q(t). a. Integrate the dq side from q(0)-0 (just O is fine) to q(t). b. Integrate the dt side from t=0 to t. (Do you see what I mean by the same physical range on both sides?) c. The differentials dą and dt are now all added up and we have an equation we can solve for q(t). Solve it. d. Finally make the substitution Qmax = Ce. Rewrite the solution here.
