AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will use the relationship between charge, capacitance, and voltage in a capacitor. ### Step 1: Understand the initial conditions Let the initial charge stored in the capacitor when connected to the battery of voltage \( V \) be \( Q \). The relationship between charge \( Q \), capacitance \( C \), and voltage \( V \) is given by: \[ Q = C \cdot V \] ...
