leakage resistance of capacitor theory help??
i have worked out the answer to my question, yet it seems silly so have convinced myself its wrong. Please help, or tell me if I'm being stupid if you can??
a parallel plate capacitor Er=12, length=10mm, width=5mm, C=100pF, rho=10`14.
calculate the leakage resistance of the capacitor?
R= rho( length/area) C= (ErEo x A)/ d
no idea. got as far as area 5 x 10`-5
EoEr = 1.062 x 10`-10
i just can't figure out how to get back to the capacitors leakage resistance??
