Hi, I'm am interested in finding the voltage across the capacitor in
this DC circuit in time. Initially, when the capacitor is uncharged,
I know that the voltage across it is 0, and as time goes on the charge
will build and the voltage across it will as well. But, how do I
calculate the voltage across it as a function of time?

Thanks.
