Problem P. 4548. (May 2013)

P. 4548. A metal sphere is initially charged to a potential difference of U0, and is hung by a totally insulating thread. Then it is left in the air of resistivity \varrho=2\cdot 10^{16}\,\Omega\cdot\rm m. How long does it take that the voltage of this condenser decreases to U0/2?
