The 1000 μF capacitor in Fig. 1 is charged to 12 V in an automobile. To discharge the capacitor before further use, a wire with a resistance of 2 mΩ is placed across the capacitor.
a. How long will it take to discharge the capacitor?
b. What is the peak value of the current?
c. Based on the answer to part (b), is a spark expected when contact is made with both ends of the capacitor?
