Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 

A battery of emf E is used to charge an uncharged capacitor C, through a resistance R. The time constant of the circuit is \({\tau = RC}\).
Assertion (A): When the voltage across the capacitor reaches 50% of its maximum value, the rate of heat dissipation in the resistor falls to \(\frac14\) of its initial value.
Reason (R): The voltage across the capacitor is proportional to the charge on its plates, while the rate of flow of charge is the current (i). This current (i) falls exponentially with a time constant T, and it falls to 50% of its initial value when the capacitor is 50% charged. The rate of heat dissipation, being proportional to i2, falls to \(\frac14\) of its initial value.
 
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. (A) is false but (R) is true.
