The correct answer is:
Less than $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{CV}^2$
The maximum stared by the capacitor is given by,
\(\mathrm{u}_{\max }=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{CV}^2\)
But when capacitor is charging with a resistor attached to it, a little extra energy will be required than \(u_{\max }\) to full charge the capacitor because resister is providing a resistance which make less in energy in form of heat.
