    The plates of a capacitor are charged to potential difference of $V\, volts$ and then  connected across a resistor. The potential difference across the capacitor decreases  exponentially with respect to time. After one second, the potential difference between the  plates is $V/3$; then after two seconds from the start, the potential difference between the  plates is
