#### Circuit Analysis Exercise
**Problem Statement:**
Consider the circuit shown in the diagram (Figure 1). Suppose that the resistance \( R \) is 7.0 kΩ.
**Diagram Description:**
- The circuit consists of a capacitor \( (1.0 \, \mu\text{F}) \) in series with two resistors, each labeled \( R \).
- The resistors are in parallel with each other.
**Exercise Part A:**
**Question:**
What is the time constant for the discharge of the capacitor?
**Instructions:**
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
**Answer Submission:**
A text box is provided with the answer \( 18 \, \text{ms} \) entered.
**System Feedback:**
- There is an indication that the answer provided is incorrect.
- A prompt encourages a retry, stating: "Incorrect; Try Again; 3 attempts remaining."
**Hints for Students:**
- Recall that the time constant \(\tau\) for a resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit is calculated using the formula \(\tau = R_{\text{eq}} \cdot C\), where \(R_{\text{eq}}\) is the equivalent resistance of the circuit, and \(C\) is the capacitance.
- Since the resistors are in parallel, determine \(R_{\text{eq}}\) before calculating the time constant.
