A capacitor of capacitance C, charged to a potential difference V, is discharged through a series combination of two resistors `R_(1)` and `R_(2)`. Find the heat generated in resistor `R_(1)` during discharging.

Explanation

To find the heat generated in resistor \( R_1 \) during the discharging of a capacitor through a series combination of two resistors \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the maximum energy stored in the capacitor
The maximum energy \( U \) stored in a capacitor is given by the formula:
\[ U = \frac{1}{2} C V^2 \]
where \( C \) is the capacitance and \( V \) is the potential difference across the capacitor.
