5. An electric circuit contains a resistance R and a capacitor C in series, and a battery supplying a time-varying electromotive force (or voltage) V(t). The charge q on the capacitor therefore obeys the following differential equation: Rdq + 2 = V(t). dt Assuming that initially there is no charge on the capacitor, and given that V(t) Vosinut, where V₂ and w are some constants, find the charge on the capacitor as a function of time. = Hint: You may have to do integration by parts twice to evaluate the following inte- gral: feRc sin(wt)dt.
