Homework Statement
A capacitor C=8.00*10^-8F which has an initial charge q=1.4*10^-6C starts to discharge through a resistor R=3.00*10^6Ω at time t=0. Determine the total energy W dissipated as thermal energy in the resistor. Hint: use energy conservation.
The Attempt at a Solution
I already found U(0)=1.225e-5J (energy stored in capacitor at t=0), but how do I use energy conservation to find W?
