7. 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 energy dissipated by R is independent of R
(D) the total energy dissipated by R is independent of Vo
(E) the initial current (just after the battery was connected) is independent of C
