    A capacitor of capacity $C$ is charged to a steady potential difference $V$ and connected in series with an open key and a pure resistor $'R'$. At time $t = 0$, the key is closed. If $I =$ current at time $t$, a plot of log $I$ against $'t'$ is as shown in $(1)$ in the graph. Later one of the parameters i.e. $V, R$ or $C$ is changed keeping the other two constant, and the graph $(2)$ is recorded. Then
