ANSWER:

Solution 35CQ

Step 1 of 2

The discharging of the capacitor is governed by,

V = V0e   

Here ,V is the voltage at the terminals of the capacitor in the course of discharging , V0 is the voltage across the terminals of the capacitor when the capacitor is fully charged , t is time calculated from the start of the discharging process , R is the resistance in the circuit and C is the value for the capacitance of the capacitor.
