For a capacitor with a certain capacitance (C), the relationship between current(i) and potential (E) in time (t) domain is given by
A) $$i = \frac { 1 } { C } \frac { dE } { d t }$$
B) $$i = C \frac { d E } { d t }$$
C) $$E = \frac { 1 } { C } \frac { d i } { d t }$$
D) $$E = C \frac { d i } { d t }$$
