The two parallel plates of a capacitor have equal and opposite charges Q. The dielectric (which is filled between the capacitor plates) has a dielectric constant K and resistivity ρ . Show that the initially "leakage" current carried by the dielectric is given by the relationship i = 
.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
V = 
; R = 
(we can treat dielectric as a resistance between the capacitor plates)
i = 
=
