Capacitor Charge & Discharge

At the start of discharge, the current is large (but in the opposite direction to when it was charging) and gradually falls to zero; As a capacitor discharges, the current, p.d. and charge all decrease exponentially. This means the rate at which the current, p.d. or charge decreases is proportional to the amount of current, p.d or charge it has left
