I'm a little unsure of how to go about with this question for part b since i wasn't given a time for it.
An 18 μF capacitor has been charged to 100V. A15 kΩ resistor
and a 5 kΩ resistor, are connected in series with the capacitor.
(a) What is the time constant of this circuit? (found this to be 0.36s)
(b) Approximately how long (in terms of τ) will it take for the
charge stored on the resistor to drop to 0.1% of its original
charge?
