A capacitor is discharging through a resistor R. Consider in time t 1 , the energy stored in the capacitor reduces to half of its initial value and in time t 2 , the charge stored reduces to one eighth of its initial value. The ratio t 1 /t 2 will be :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
In t 1 time energy becomes half so charge will become 
time
and
