Chapter 26, Problem 92GP
A typical voltmeter has an internal resistance of 10 MΩ and can only measure voltage differences of up to several hundred volts. Figure 26–81 shows the design of a probe to measure a very large voltage difference V using a voltmeter. If you want the voltmeter to read 50 V when V = 50 kV, what value R should be used in this probe?

A 10^-8 F capacitor (10 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 5 x 10^13 ohms; on a humid day, the resistance is 8 x 10^6 ohms. How long will it take the capacitor voltage to dissipate to half its original value on each day?
Two capacitors are connected in series and a source voltage of 75 Volts is applied
across the entire series configuration. If the resistors have values 120 and 50 micro-
Farads, how much charge is on the 120 μF capacitor? Express your answer in micro-
Coulombs (C).
