A capacitor is discharged through a resistor of resistance R = 1200 ohm. The voltage across the capacitor is measured as a function of time and is shown in the figure. (a) What is the time constant for the circuit? Try your best to be as accurate as possible based on the graph. (b) What is the capacitance of the capacitor?

A network of two identical capacitors, each with capacitance $C$. is charged through a resistor $R$ using a battery with emf $\mathcal{E}$. (a) What is the time constant, in terms of $R$ and $C,$ for the charging circuit if the two capacitors are in series? (b) In parallel? (c) For which capacitor network, series or parallel, does the voltage across the resistor become $1 \%$ of its initial value in a shorter time?
