To solve the problem of finding the charge on the second capacitor as a function of time after connecting it to an initially charged capacitor, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Initial Conditions We have two capacitors, both with capacitance \( C \). Capacitor A is initially charged with a charge \( Q \), while Capacitor B is uncharged (0 charge). ### Step 2: Set Up the Circuit At time \( t = 0 \), we connect the two capacitors through a resistor \( R \). The charge will flow from Capacitor A to Capacitor B since Capacitor A has a higher potential. ...
