The dielectric materials used in real capacitors are not perfectinsulators. A resistance called a leakage resistance in parallelwith the capacitance can model this imperfection. A 210-μFcapacitor is initially charged to 100 V. We want 81 percent of theinitial energy to remain after one minute. What is the limit on theleakage resistance for this capacitor?
