An isolated charged capacitor may gradually discharge as charge leaks from one plate to the other through the intermediate material, as if it were discharging through an external resistor. (a) What is the resistance of such an external resistor if a 2.00 muF capacitor's potential difference decreases to 60.0% of its initial value of 50.0 V in 2.40 d? (b) What is the corresponding loss of potential energy in that time interval? (c) At the end of that interval, at what rate is the capacitor losing potential energy? |
