A capacitor is constructed out of a pair of perfectly aligned rectangular metal plates with a small air gap between them. The capacitor is connected to a 1.5 V battery. Then, without disconnecting the battery, the capacitor is dipped into a beaker of silicon oil so that the rectangular plates become half- submerged in oil. Which of the following quantities stays the same after the capacitor is partially dipped in silicon oil (select all that apply)?

A capacitor with an unspecified charge and a resistor are part of a circuit.

After 4 seconds, what would be the potential difference between the plates?
discussion problem 4: Why does the voltage across the capacitor (and neon tube) decrease as the capacitor is discharging? math-physics problem 1: Show that the flow of charge on the capacitor is dq Vbatt – q/C %3D dt R where Vhatt is the voltage across the battery, R is the resistor, and C is the capcitence. To do this you will need to apply Kirchoff's loop law. Also, the method of the RC circuit in the book is very similar (check the book).

A 10-7-F capacitor (100 nanofarads) is charged to 100 V and then disconnected. One can model the charge leakage of the capacitor with a RC circuit with no voltage source and the resistance of the air between the capacitor plates. On a cold dry day, the resistance of the air gap is 5x1013 2; on a humid day, the resistance is 8 x 10° 2. How long will it take the capacitor voltage to dissipate to half its original value on each day?
