Switch S in the circuit is held in position 1, so that the capacitor C becomes fully charged to a
pd V and stores energy E. The switch is then moved quickly to position 2, allowing C to
discharge through the fixed resistor R. It takes 36 ms for the pd across C to fall to V .

energy stored by C has fallen to E ?

Three vertical tubes, made from copper, lead and rubber respectively, have identical
dimensions. Identical, strong, cylindrical magnets P, Q and R are released simultaneously
from the same distance above each tube. Because of electromagnetic effects, the magnets
emerge from the bottom of the tubes at different times.
Which line, A to D, in the table shows the correct order in which they will emerge?
