The capacitor $C$ is initially without charge. $X$ is now joined to $Y$ for a long time,during which $H_1$ heat is produced in the resistance $R$. The $X-Y$ connection is removed and $X$ is now joined to $Z$ for a long time,during which heat $H_2$ is produced in $R$.

The charge across the capacitor in two different $RC$ circuits $1$ and $2$ are plotted as shown in the figure. Identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the $R_1, R_2, C_1$ and $C_2$ of the two $RC$ circuits.

$A$ 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 $I$ is the 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 while keeping the other two constant,and the graph $(2)$ is recorded. Then:

$A$ combination of two identical capacitors, a resistor $R$, and a $DC$ voltage source of voltage $6\; V$ is used in an experiment on a $C-R$ circuit. It is found that for a parallel combination of the capacitors, the time in which the voltage of the fully charged combination reduces to half its original voltage is $10\; s$. For a series combination, the time needed for reducing the voltage of the fully charged series combination by half is: (in $; s$)
