Yeah, but he'd have to fill in a few tiresome boxes.

The answers are seen to be obvious.

Not bad.

P.S. My locust was too crooked to follow the grain. The ash continues to dry.

Thank you. It's reassuring to know there are still folks who appreciate a good (that is, bad) pun.

Please give me any formula to calculate the discharge time of medium voltage capacitor.

There is only one, and it is the same one used for low and extra low voltage capacitors (as mentioned by others above).

'Medium voltage' implies you are working on either a grid distribution capacitor bank or (more likely) a high voltage charging circuit. Do be extra careful least the capacitors discharge through you.

etc.
