Figure given below displays two circuits with a charged capacitor that is to be discharged
through a resistor when a switch is closed. In figure(a), R1 = 16 Q and C1= 8 µF. In figure(b), R2
= 12 Q and C2 = 9 µF. The ratio of the initial charges on the two capacitors is q 02 /g01 = 10/2.
At time t = 0, both switches are closed. At what time t do the two capacitors have the same
charge? (Your result must be in multiples of 10 -4 s and include 2 digit after the decimal point.
That means if you get a result of a 9.22 x 10 -4 just type 9.22 in the answer box. Maximum of 5%
of error is accepted in your answer.)

Total resistance in a parallel circuit is less than your smallest resistor. The reason for this prob is that the total resistance has to divide, (or) split up. Can you help me to conceptualize this, which would get into the difference between parallel versus series circuit.
