1. A capacitor with C = 0.25F is initially charged to a potential of 6V. The capacitor is then connected across a resistor and allowed to discharge. After a time of 5 103 s the potential across the capacitor has dropped to 1.2V. What must the resistance of the resistor be?

1b. How much total energy will be dissipated by the resistor once it has fully discharged
