Dry air is a pretty decent insulator; it has a very high resistivity of 3×10^13Ω⋅m . Consider a capacitor that has square plates 15 cm on a side, separated by 0.8 mm of dry air. The capacitor is charged such that it has a potential of 320 V between the plates. Assuming the voltage on the plates is held fixed, what fraction of the total energy stored in the capacitor is dissipated via conduction through air between the plates in 1 minute? (precision 0.01, already know total energy is 80*10^-6 J) *Answer isn't 0.05 or 0.23

Batteries are recharged by connecting them to a power supply (i.e., another battery) of greater emf in such a way that the current flows into the positive terminal of the battery being recharged, as was shown in Figure 23.8. This reverse current through the battery replenishes its chemicals. The current iskept fairly low so as not to overheat the battery being recharged by dissipating energy in its internal resistance.a. Suppose the real battery of Figure P23.59 is rechargeable. What emf power supply should be used for a 0.75 A recharging current?b. If this power supply charges the battery for 10 minutes, how much energy goes into the battery? How much is dissipated as thermal energy in the internal resistance?
