Process 1 : In the circuit the switch S is closed at t = 0 and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage V0
(i.e., charging continues for time T >> RC). In the process some dissipation (ED) occurs across the resistance
R. The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is EC.

a time T >> RC. The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to V0 and the capacitor

PARAGRAPH -2
One twirls a circular ring (of mass M and radius R) near the tip of one's finger as shown in Figure
1. In the process the finger never loses contact with the inner rim of the ring. The finger traces out
the surface of a cone, shown by the dotted line. The radius of the path traced out by the point where
the ring and the finger is in contact is r. The finger rotates with an angular velocity 0. The rotating
ring rolls without slipping on the outside of a smaller circle described by the point where the ring
and the finger is in contact (Figure 2). The coefficient of friction between the ring and the finger is
µ and the acceleration due to gravity is g.
