A resistor of resistance R and a capacitor of capacitance C are connected in series to an EMF of voltage E. A switch is set to the open position and the capacitor is initially uncharged. The switch is then closed. Show that when the capacitor charges that half of the energy drawn from the EMF is dissipated in the resistor and that half of the energy is stored in the capacitor.
