Problem

Three separate RC circuits—labeled I, II, and III—each use the same 4.0 μF4.0\,\mu\text{F} capacitor but different resistors. Circuit I has a 0.50 kΩ0.50\,\text{k}\Omega resistor, Circuit II has a 1.0 kΩ1.0\,\text{k}\Omega resistor, and Circuit III has a 2.0 kΩ2.0\,\text{k}\Omega resistor. Rank the circuits from the one that reaches 63 percent of its final charge in the least time to the one that takes the most time. a) III < II < I b) II < I < III c) I < II < III d) I < III < II
