A 70 μF capacitor is fully charged by a 15 V battery. It is then disconnected form the battery and discharged thruh a 180 olhm resistor. If we define a capcitor to be fully discharged when ther is less than one elementary charge e on it, then how long does it take to fully discharge this capacitor?

Suppose that the capacitance of a variable capacitor can be manually changed from 100 pF to 800 pF by turning a dial, connected to one set of plates by a shaft from 0° to 180°. With the dial set at 180° (corresponding to C — 800 pF), the capacitor is connected to a 500-V source. After charging, the capacitor is disconnected from the source, and the dial is turned to 0°. If friction is negligible, how much work is required to turn the dial from 180° to 0°?
