Answer

$i=20e^{-10t}$

Work Step by Step

Using RC Circuit we get: $$R\frac{dQ}{dt}+\frac{Q}{C}=E$$ We are given: $E=100$ $c=\frac{1}{50}F$ $R=5$ Substituting: $$\frac{dQ}{dt}+\frac{Q}{\frac{5}{50}}=\frac{100}{5}$$ $$\frac{dQ}{dt}+10Q=20$$ The solution can be found by: $$Q=e^{-\int10 dt}(c+\int e^{10t}20dt)$$ $$Q=ce^{-10t}+2$$ Since $t=0,Q=10$, we get: $$0=c+2 \rightarrow c=-2$$ The charge at $t \geq 0$ is: $$Q=-2e^{-10t}+2$$ Thus the current in the circuit for $t \geq 0$ is: $$i=\frac{dQ}{dq}=20e^{-10t}$$
