At t = 0 a capacitor is charged and has a potential of V . Then, it is hooked up to a wire with a resistance and discharges. a) What is the energy stored in the capacitor at t = 0? b) What is the power PR(t) dissipated through the resistor as the capacitor discharges? c) Check that the energy dissipated through the resistor is the same as was originally stored in the capacitor.
