Why exactly do capacitors charge and discharge exponentially?

The differential equation that describes this effect is formulated such that the rate of charging is negatively affected by the charge that is already on the negative plate, and is proportional to the charge that is already on that plate. The solution of the differential equation results in an exponential mathematical form with a negative exponent.
