A 10 MΩ resistor is connected in series with a 1.0 mF capacitor and a battery with emf 12.0 V. Before the switch is closed at time t = 0, the capacitor is uncharged. (a) What is the time constant? (b) What fraction of the final charge Qf is on the capacitor at t = 46 s ? (c) What fraction of the initial current I0 is still flowing at t = 46 s ?
