Finally, you perform the following sequence of events. The capacitor starts uncharged and the
switch is flipped to connect a and c. The capacitor is charged for 20 ms. The switch is then flipp
to connect b and c, and the capacitor is discharged for 26 ms, at which time the switch is set to
position where it is not in contact with either a or b. What is the voltage on the capacitor? Give
answer to 2 significant digits.
