Subtracting Ri from both sides:
Divide both sides by L:
Multiply both sides by dt and divide both by (V - Ri):
Integrate (see Integration: Basic Logarithm Form):
Now, since i = 0 when t = 0, we have:
Substituting K back into our expression:
Rearranging:
Multiplying throughout by -R:
Collecting the logarithm parts together:
Taking e to both sides:
Subtracting 1 from both sides:
Multiplying both sides by -(V/R):
