A theoretical method to calculate the {ital K}-shell electron-capture cross section in asymmetric collisions is developed. The correlation effect between the active and the passive electrons and the screening effect in the wave function of the active electron are all considered. Under the Oppenheimer-Brinkman-Kramers approximation, an analytical expression for the total capture cross section is obtained. The calculated results for H{sup +}--carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, argon and He{sup 2+}-neon collisions, at the intermediate-energy region, show very good agreement with available experimental findings. A comparison with other theoretical results is given.
