M
and are separated by a distance of 6.0 m as shown in figure.

A certain series RC circuit is formed using a resistance R, a capacitor without

dielectric having a capacitance C = 2 F and a battery of emf E = 3 V. The circuit
is completed and it is allowed to attain the steady state. After this, at t = 0, half
