A coaxial capacitor consists of two concentric cylindrical conductors. The region between the conductors is completely filled with polyethylene plastic as shown in the figure. Current leakage through the plastic, in the radial direction, is unwanted. The charge of the inner conductor is Q-5.0uC, its radius is a-20cm, the radius of the outer conductor is b-21cm, its charge is -Q. The length of the capacitor is L-50cm. The resistivity of the plastic is p=1.00x10 Om, its dielectric constant is x-2.25. Find the current in the inter-electrode gap.
