Solution

For problem $8.4.5$
For problem

Initially, there are charge and energy stored on the left capacitor. When the circuit is closed, the same current flows through both resistors and the ratio of the heat generated in each of them is

When the circuit reaches steady state and there is no current, there are charge and energy stored on each capacitor. Thus, the total heat generated is

Solving both displayed equations for and , we have
