So the direction of current on your capacitor C is backwards according to convention, i.e., it's drawn in the wrong direction. You can do this but your first equation (according to KCL and your convention) should be I =IC −IR I = I C − I R.
Thank you. Your node "above" the resistor and capacitor is labeled as having a voltage V. The convention is that current will flow from a more positive potential V to a more negative voltage, in this case ground. So the direction of current on your capacitor C is backwards according to convention, i.e., it's drawn in the wrong direction.
In order to adjust capacitance, a variable capacitor modifies the surface area of its overlapping plates. A variable capacitor, sometimes referred to as a tuning capacitor, is a kind of capacitor in which the capacitance can be mechanically or electrically altered on a regular basis.
With capacitors, there are two major limiting factors to the minimum size of a unit: working voltage and capacitance. And these two factors tend to be in opposition to each other. For any given choice in dielectric materials, the only way to increase the voltage rating of a capacitor is to increase the thickness of the dielectric.
Capacitors react against changes in voltage by supplying or drawing current in the direction necessary to oppose the change. When a capacitor is faced with an increasing voltage, it acts as a load: drawing current as it absorbs energy (current going in the negative side and out the positive side, like a resistor).
In other words, capacitors tend to resist changes in voltage drop. When voltage across a capacitor is increased or decreased, the capacitor “resists” the change by drawing current from or supplying current to the source of the voltage change, in opposition to the change. To store more energy in a capacitor, the voltage across it must be increased.
How to Identify Capacitor Polarity
Correct capacitor polarity ensures that the dielectric material within the capacitor maintains its insulating properties and that the device operates efficiently. Reversing polarity can cause the dielectric to break down, leading to leakage …

A decreasing capacitor voltage requires that the charge differential between the capacitor''s plates be reduced, and the only way that can happen is if the direction of current flow is reversed, with the capacitor discharging rather than charging.

Figure (PageIndex{1}): (a) An (RC) circuit with an initially uncharged capacitor. Current flows in the direction shown (opposite of electron flow) as soon as the switch is closed. Mutual repulsion of like charges in the capacitor progressively slows the flow as the capacitor is charged, stopping the current when the capacitor is fully charged and (Q = C cdot emf).

Current Direction and Voltage Polarity in Capacitor/Inductor …
Once you assume a direction arrow, voltage drops across the resistors are plus on the side the arrow enters. Normal we assumed that the current flows from higher (more positive) to lower potential. In your example circuit, we see a 9V voltage source. Thus, we can assume that the current will flow out of the positive terminal of the voltage source.

So the direction of current on your capacitor C is backwards according to convention, i.e., it''s drawn in the wrong direction. You can do this but your first equation (according to KCL and your convention) should be $I = I_C - I_R$. You have assumed $I = 0$ which is not the case because as the capacitor charges the constant voltage applied ...

Confused on direction of current through capacitors.
Taking electron current, and putting a capacitor in the circuit, the charging current flows from the negative terminal of the voltages source to the negative terminal of the capacitor, and from the positive terminal of the capacitor to the positive terminal of the voltage source. It effectively flows from negative to positive across the ...

Capacitor Basics: How do Capacitors Work?
This resistance is because the current that is flowing into the capacitor is "filling" the capacitor up, it can''t charge or discharge instantaneously. This change in voltage is consistent and can be calculated exactly if you know the capacitance as well as any series resistance. It is modeled with the following equations: Where: v c - voltage across the capacitor V 1 - input …
