please could you solve this problem in a simple way and thank you^^ A 7.9 micro-Farad capacitor was initially charged to 10V and connected to a 9.3 kilo-Ohm resistor and a switch. The switch is then closed at t=0 allowing the capacitor to discharge. The time needed for the voltage on the capacitor to reach 5V is (in milliseconds): a. 0.01 b. 36.74 c. 73.47 d. 253. 47 e. 50.69
