    4.)
    Effective resistance of the circuit:
    R_eff = (2*6)/(2+6) = 1.5 M ohm
    because charge in the capacitor at time t is given as:
    q = Q * ( 1- e^(-t/t0))
    where t0 = time constant of the circuit = R_eff * C =
    = ...

    Solution Summary

    The solution shows the sequence of steps to solve the problem. The current through a closed switch is given.
