What is (a) electric dipole moment , (b) dielectric strength ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) It is product of the either of the charge and distance between the charges.
(b) It is minimum electric field applied above which dielectric breakdown just occurs . It is the maximum electric field below which it behave as dielectric . It us maximum electric field below which dielectric breakdown does not occur.

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 10^(7) Vm^(-1) . (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?
