Draw two graphs of charge versus time on a capacitor. Draw one for charging an initially uncharged capacitor in series with a resistor, as in the circuit in Figure 21.38, starting from t=0. Draw the other for discharging a capacitor through a resistor, as in the circuit in figure 21.39, starting at t=0, with an initial charge Q₀ . Show at least two intervals of t.
