Answer:
Mass can never be negative. Everything has mass. Just like how they ask you to find area under the graph in maths. If the area is in the 3rd and 4th quadrant, when calculated, you would get negative answer.However, area can not be negative because it is a place/ location. It's exactly the same as mass.

(a) The time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms.
(b) The time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.
<h3>
Time taken to loose half of its charge</h3>
q(t) = q₀e-^(t/RC)
q(t)/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)
0.5q₀/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)
0.5 = e-^(t/RC)
1/2 = e-^(t/RC)
t/RC = ln(2)
t = RC x ln(2)
t = (12 x 10⁻⁶ x 265) x ln(2)
t = 2.2 x 10⁻³ s
t = 2.2 ms
<h3>
Time taken to loose half of its stored energy</h3>
U(t) = Ue-^(t/RC)
U = ¹/₂Q²/C
(Ue-^(t/RC))²/2C = Q₀²/2Ce
e^(2t/RC) = e
2t/RC = 1
t = RC/2
t = (265 x 12 x 10⁻⁶)/2
t = 1.59 x 10⁻³ s
t = 1.59 ms
Thus, the time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms and the time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.
