A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. At the moment contact is made with the battery, the voltage across the resistor is
A) greater than the battery's terminal voltage.
B) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.
C) less than the battery's terminal voltage, but greater than zero.
D) zero.
