A capacitor C = 1 mF is placed in series with a resistor R = 100 kW,
and connected to a battery through a switch. Initially the switch is
open, and the capacitor is completely discharged. Immediately after
the switch is closed, the magnitude of the potential difference
across the resistor is
1.

A capacitor is connected to a resistor through a switch. Initially the switch is
open, and the capacitor is charged with a charge Q to a voltage V. After the
switch is closed, the magnitude of the potential difference across the
resistor, vR, is best represented by which selection:
