Problem

A capacitor is charged through a resistor to a fixed battery voltage. The resistor is then replaced with one having twice the resistance while the capacitor and battery remain unchanged. Describe qualitatively how the new graph of capacitor voltage versus time compares to the original between t=0t=0 and several time constants.
