Even if I'm off by an order of magnitude or two it would still discharge noticeably over the course of a minute. --- End quote --- If it is going to discharge there has to be a closed circuit. Where is the return path for the current? --- End quote --- Wait, what? Are you suggesting that a capacitor can't be discharged by a parallel resistor? Is it a revival of that "does current really flow through capacitors" thread? ;) |
