Homework Statement
I am trying to find the relevant equation to to solve the following problem,
RL= leakage resistance measured across the dielectric
A 100pF parallel-plate capacitor has a mica dielectric of relative permittivity [tex]\epsilon[/r]=12 and a resistivity of \rho=10^14\Omega m.
I want to calaculate the leakage resistance of this capacitor.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The previous question wanted to know the area and distance between the plates of the capacitor, i think that this has something to do with the answer to the question,
I have solved this!
I think i have all the relevant information to have an atempt at the answer but don't know and can't find the equation,
I am not sure if Resistance R = rhol/A has anything to do with it because it states resistivity is \rho = 10^14 \Omega m
this has thrown me??
I can't find anything that points me in the right dierction in my books or course work.
