To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning presented in the video transcript and apply the relevant formulas. ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have a parallel-plate capacitor with a capacitance of \( C = 2.0 \, \mu F \) that is discharging through a wire. The electric field between the plates drops to one-third of its initial value in a time of \( t = 4.4 \, \mu s \). ### Step 2: Relate the electric field to charge The electric field \( E \) between the plates of a capacitor is directly proportional to the charge \( Q \) on the plates: \[ ...
