You connect an initially uncharged 6.40 μF capacitor in series with a 5.00 MΩ resistor and a battery with emf 12.0 V. After letting the capacitor charge for 51.0 s, you disconnect it from this circuit and connect it in series to an open switch and a 6.00 MΩ resistor.   A) Find the charge on the capacitor when you disconnect it from the first circuit. B) Find the charge on the capacitor 70.0 ss after you close the switch in the second circuit.
