An initially uncharged capacitor C is connected in series with resistor R. This combination is then connected to a battery of emf V0. Sufficient time elapses so that a steady state is reached. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The time constant is independent of V0
B. The final charge on C is independent of R
C. The total thermal energy generated by R is independent of R
D. The total thermal energy generated by R is independent of V0
E. The initial current (just after the battery was connected) is independent of C
