Why not write up the processes in mathematics.
Let Vs be the supplied voltage to charge up the capacitor
Vc be the capacitor voltage
I be the charging current
R be any resistance in the circuit, including that of the connecting wires
Hence, by Ohm;s law, we have
Vs = Vc + IR
i.e. I = (Vs-Vc)/R
But Vc = Q/C, where Q is the charge on the capacitor and C is its capacitance.
Thus, I = (Vs- Q/C)/R
During charging, Q gradually increases, the term (Vs-Q/C) will decrease (because Vs and C is constant), thus I will decrease with time.
The current I will be reduced to zero when Q increases to a level such that Q/C = Vs, the capacitor is then fully charged.
------------------------------------------
The same equation also applies on discharging just by putting Vs = 0 volt
we have, I = - Q/RC
[ the - ve sign only means that the current through R now flows in opposite direction to that during charging].
Very clearly, when Q is gradually decreasing, I will decrease at the same time until all charges on the capacitor has gone.
