An initially uncharged capacitor $C$ is being charged by a battery of emf $E$ through a resistance $R$. Up to the instant when the capacitor is charged to a potential $E/2$, the ratio of the work done by the battery to the heat dissipated by the resistor is given by

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $3: 1$
