Here is the problem which I am struggling on, please help me!

Problem: When an RC series circuit is connected to a dc source, what is the voltage on a capacitor after one time constant when,

(a) Charging from zero voltage and

(b) Discharging from a fully charged condition?

I want you to explain the physics in this problem.
