In the circuit shown in the following figure(Figure 1) the capacitor has capacitance 18 μFμF and is initially uncharged. The resistor R0R0 has resistance 12 ΩΩ . An emf of 80.0 VV is added in series with the capacitor and the resistor. The emf is placed between the capacitor and the switch, with the positive terminal of the emf adjacent to the capacitor.
