You connect an unknown resistor in series with an 8.00 mF capacitor and an open switch. Before you close the switch at t = 0, the capacitor has charge 5.50 mC; at t = 17.0 s, the charge has decreased to 1.10 mC. Find (a) the resistance of the resistor, (b) the current in the circuit just after you close the switch, and (c) the current in the circuit at t = 17.0 s.

You connect an unknown resistor in series with an 8.00 mF capacitor
and an open switch. Before you close the switch at t = 0, the capacitor
has charge 5.50 mC; at t = 17.0 s, the charge has decreased to 1.10 mC.
Find (a) the resistance of the resistor, (b) the current in the circuit just
after you close the switch, and (c) the current in the circuit at t = 17.0 s.
