A 5.00 µF capacitor starts with 3.00 J of stored energy. The capacitor is then discharged while connected to a 500 kΩ resistor.

a) Find the initial charge on the capacitor and the current through the resistor when the discharging begins.

b) Find the charge on the capacitor, the current through the resistor, and the power dissipated in the resistor as a function of time.

c) At what time will the capacitor have one quarter of its original charge?
