A rectangular circuit diagram. On the left branch is a battery with emf \(\varepsilon\), with the longer positive terminal pointing up. The top branch contains a switch \(S\) and a resistor \(R_1\) to its right. To the right of \(R_1\), the circuit splits into two parallel vertical branches. The middle vertical branch contains resistor \(R_2\). The rightmost vertical branch contains a capacitor \(C\) and a resistor \(R_3\) in series. The bottom branch connects the bottoms of the middle and right vertical branches back to the negative terminal of the battery. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Figure 1. Circuit diagram.
A circuit is constructed with an ideal battery of electromotive force (emf) \(\varepsilon\), a switch \(S\), an initially uncharged capacitor of capacitance \(C\), and three resistors with resistances \(R_1 = R\), \(R_2 = 2R\), and \(R_3 = R\). The components are connected as shown in Figure 1.
