Question 3

An aerospace sensor uses a backup capacitor to preserve state during power transitions. When the main power is disconnected, the potential difference across the capacitor drops by 15.0% of its value at the start of each minute.

If the potential difference across the capacitor is 5.50 V immediately after the main power is disconnected, what is the potential difference remaining after 4.00 minutes4.00\text{ minutes}4.00 minutes?
