battery of emf V, as shown in figure is known as RC series circuit. 4x 1 4

As soon as the circuit is completed by closing key S, (keeping S, open)

charges begin to flow between the capacitor plates and the battery
terminals. The charge on the capacitor increases and consequently
the potential difference V, (- q/C) across the capacitor also increases
with time. When this potential difference equals the potential difference
across the battery, the capacitor is fully charged (Q= VC). During this -
process of charging, the charge q on the capacitor changes with time t as
