    Rohan
    This document discusses charging and discharging of capacitors in electric circuits. It includes 7 multiple choice questions about calculating charge, potential difference, heat dissipation, and time constants in capacitor circuits. Key concepts covered are the exponential decay of charge/current over time in an RC circuit, the dividing of voltage across parallel components in steady state, and that the time constant is determined by either R or 2R depending on if the capacitor is charging or discharging.
