d (d) By using
$V = {V_0}{e^{ - t/CR}} \Rightarrow 40 = 50\,{e^{ - 1/CR}} \Rightarrow {e^{ - 1/CR}} = 4/5$
Potential difference after $2$ $sec$
$V' = {V_0}{e^{ - 2/CR}} = 50{({e^{ - 1/CR}})^2} = 50{\left( {\frac{4}{5}} \right)^2} = 32\,V$
Fraction of energy after $1$ $sec$
$ = \,$$\frac{{\frac{1}{2}C{{({V_f})}^2}}}{{\frac{1}{2}C{{({V_i})}^2}}} = {\left( {\frac{{40}}{{50}}} \right)^2} = \frac{{16}}{{25}}$
