Hiya!
I would be grateful for any help on part d of the Discharging Capacitor Isaac Physics Question.
Question:
In the circuit below, the capacitor is initially holding a charge of Q_0. The capacitance of the capacitor is C and the resistors have values R_1 and R_2.

Part D:
At the point when the capacitor is holding a charge of Q how much energy has been dissipated in R_2?
I have looked at all of the hints but don't know where to start.

Read the forum posting guidelines.
As for your question, you need the graph of Figure 10.39(d) in the following link.

The voltage across R2 decreases exponentially and you can use the following expression to find the energy has been dissipated in R_2:

Sorry! I just made a mistake in my first message and tried clearing it and thought it wouldn't pop up anymore.

The voltage across R2 is NOT constant. This means that the equation can be applied directly.

I squared the initial voltage (see part A) and divided this by R_2 and multiplied it by delta v (see part C). Could you maybe give me an extra pointer? I am stuck am not that sure how to use the formula correctly....

The last crucial part is using calculus in the following formula.
