These results indicate that in time the charge approaches the constant value of -^--, which is

known as the steady-state charge. Also, due to the exponential term, the current approaches
zero as t increases. This limit is indicated in the graph of q{t) as well.

The current i{t) for this circuit is obtained by differentiating the solution q(t). This function is
graphed as follows:

> dq:=diff(q(t),t);

dq:= L"2^'sin(600
