How can we obtain the input signal in Python given the output signal and transfer function?
I have the following transfer function
$$ H(s) = \frac{R}{sRC + 1} $$
where $V$ is the output and $I$ is the input. We can write
$$ V(s) = I(s) H(s) $$

Help with setting up transfer function correct format
I have a transfer function as:
H(s) = R / (sRC + 1)
V is the output and I is the input so we can write:
V(s) = I(s)*H(s)
Now the thing is that, I want to obtain I(t) for the given V(t). So I write:
