Assertion (A): | \(\frac14\) of its initial value. | When the voltage across the capacitor reaches 50% of its maximum value, the rate of heat dissipation in the resistor falls to
Reason (R): | \(\frac14\) of its initial value. | 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
