CP CALC A capacitor has two parallel plates with area A separated by a distance d. The space between plates is filled with a material having dielectric constant K. The material is not a perfect insulator but has resistivity ρ. The capacitor is initially charged with charge of magnitude Q0 on each plate that gradually discharges by

- In the figure, suppose the switch has been closed for a time sufficiently long for the capacitor to become fully charged. Find (a) the steady-state current in each resistor and (b) the charge Q on the capacitor. (c) The switch is now opened at t = 0.
