A 10.0-MΩ resistor is connected in series with a 5.00-μF capacitor. When a switch is thrown, these circuit elements are connected to a 24.0-V battery of negligible internal resistance. The capacitor is initially uncharged. (a) What is the current in the circuit immediately after the switch is moved so that charging begins? (b) What is the charge on the capacitor once it is fully charged? (c) Find the capacitor charge, current, power provided by the battery, power taken in by the resistor, and power taken in by the capacitor at t = 50.0 s. (d) When the capacitor is fully charged, find the total energy that has been delivered by the battery and the total energy that has been delivered to the capacitor.
