Problem

A graph of the current II in an RCRC circuit during the discharge of a fully charged capacitor is a smooth curve that starts at I=I0I=I_0 when t=0t=0 and approaches zero as tt increases. Which statement best describes the simultaneous graph of the voltage VV across the capacitor? a) It starts at V=0V=0 when t=0t=0 and rises exponentially toward V0V_0 with the same time constant as the current. b) It starts at V=V0V=V_0 when t=0t=0 and decreases exponentially toward zero with the same time constant as the current. c) It starts at V=V0V=V_0 when t=0t=0 and decreases exponentially toward zero with a time constant equal to 2RC2RC.},{ d) It starts at V=V0V=V_0 when t=0t=0 and decreases linearly to zero exactly at t=2RCt=2RC.
