We have two metal plates of surface area...

We have two metal plates of surface area `1m^(2)` to construct an air parallel plate capacitor. A potential difference of 210 V is to be applied across the capacitor. The dielectric strength of air is 1 and electric field between the plates is `3xx10^(6)V//m`. What can be the minimum separation between two plates? If the capacitor is constructed accordingly then how much charge it will hold when connected across a 210 V supply?
