$A$ combination of two identical capacitors, a resistor $R$, and a $DC$ voltage source of voltage $6\; V$ is used in an experiment on a $C-R$ circuit. It is found that for a parallel combination of the capacitors, the time in which the voltage of the fully charged combination reduces to half its original voltage is $10\; s$. For a series combination, the time needed for reducing the voltage of the fully charged series combination by half is: (in $; s$)

In the transient current circuit shown,the time constant is
