5. A series combination of an 18.0 mF capacitor and a resistor are connected to a 125 V battery. After three seconds, the voltage across the capacitor is 49.5 V. (a) What is the resistance of the resistor? (b) If at that three second mark the battery is subsequently removed and the capacitor is allowed to discharge through the resistor then how many excess electrons will remain on the capacitor at the five second mark?
