A "leaky" capacitor' faulty insulation allows charge to pass slowly from one plate to the other. Suppose that a charged leaky 2.0 microF capacitor' potential difference drops to one-fourth its initial value in 2.0 sec. What is the equivalent resistance between the capacitor plates, in megaOhms? (Hint: the leaky capacitor forms an RC circuit.)
