Question
If the first (horizontal) resistor had zero resistance, what would be the initial voltage across the capacitor? Express your answer in terms of E.
At least I know why the answer I typed into the problem, which was V_C,0 = E, was definitely incorrect, because my answer disagrees with Kirchhoff's loop rule.
However, I need help on writing the rule for a loop that contains a battery and a capacitor, and I'm stuck on it.
