To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze each part of the question regarding the circuit consisting of a capacitor (C), a resistor (R), and an EMF source (ε) connected in series. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Maximum Potential Difference Across the Resistor (V_R)**: - At time \( t = 0 \), the capacitor is uncharged, and it behaves like a short circuit. Therefore, the entire EMF is across the resistor. - **Formula**: \( V_R = \epsilon \) - **Answer**: The maximum potential difference across the resistor is \( \epsilon \). ...
