Consider a series circuit containing a resistor of resistance R and a capacitor of capacitance C connected to a source of EMF with negligible internal resistance. The wires are also assumed to have zero resistance. Initially, the switch is open and the capacitor discharged. (Figure 1)
1) Immediately after the switch is closed, what is the voltage across the resistor?
2) Immediately after the switch is closed, what is the direction of the current in the circuit?
