When does the most charge flow?

a) when a capacitor is charging
b) when a capacitor is discharging
c) the same charge flows in both cases
d) you cant tell with the information given

Answer:
The correct answer is "c", assuming all other conditions are the same, specifically via the same voltages. You apply a voltage through a resistance and current flows according to the time constant to a specific number of electrons. You discharge it and exactly that number of electrons flow to discharge the cap. The answer above is incorrect - charge does flow when a cap is charging.
B

No charge flows when a capacitor is charging. When it is charging a short circuit is made and voltage is stored on each side. During discharge, the voltage flows from one side to the other.
