A capacitor of capacity C is charged to the 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 time  't' is as shown in 1 in the graph. Later on of the parameters i.e. V,R or C is changed keeping the other two constant, and the graph 2 is recorded. Then-
