Thank you. Your node "above" the resistor and capacitor is labeled as having a voltage V. The convention is that current will flow from a more positive potential V to a more negative voltage, in this case ground. So the direction of current on your capacitor C is backwards according to convention, i.e., it's drawn in the wrong direction.
Taking electron current, and putting a capacitor in the circuit, the charging current flows from the negative terminal of the voltages source to the negative terminal of the capacitor, and from the positive terminal of the capacitor to the positive terminal of the voltage source. It effectively flows from negative to positive across the capacitor.
So the direction of current on your capacitor C is backwards according to convention, i.e., it's drawn in the wrong direction. You can do this but your first equation (according to KCL and your convention) should be I =IC −IR I = I C − I R.
To put this relationship between voltage and current in a capacitor in calculus terms, the current through a capacitor is the derivative of the voltage across the capacitor with respect to time. Or, stated in simpler terms, a capacitor’s current is directly proportional to how quickly the voltage across it is changing.
Since between plates of a capacitor there is an insulator/dielectric, how is it possible that current flows in a circuit with a capacitor since according to Ohm's law, current is inversely proportional to resistance and an insulator by definition has a big resistance, so we basically have an open circuit?
Capacitance and energy stored in a capacitor can be calculated or determined from a graph of charge against potential. Charge and discharge voltage and current graphs for capacitors. A closed loop through which current moves - from a power source, through a series of components, and back into the power source.
Current through a capacitor, however, switches direction depending on whether the capacitor is charging (acting as a load) or discharging (acting as a source). Capacitors in Parallel and …
