Ah, I should have converted units first. My bad. That fixes the resistance. And then Current is Charge/Second. Thank you, I should have the correct answer now!
So, I calculated a resistance and then current from this and the voltage contained in the capacitor to get the Energy per second. But I need charge per second. What can I do?

Homework Statement
Dry air has a resistivity of about 3*10^13 Ωm. A capacitor has square plates 10cm on a side separated by 1.2mm of dry air. The capacitor is charged to 250V. Assuming the potential difference does not change as the charge flows, what fraction of the charge will flow across the...
