A parallel plate capacitor is formed by two plates, each of area `100 cm^2`, separated by a distance of 1 mm. A dielectric of dielectric constant 5.0 and dielectric strength `1.9 X 10 ^7 Vm^(-1)` is filled between the plates. Find the maximum charge that can be stored on the capacitor without causing any dielectric breakdown.

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1kV, using a maeterial 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 50pF?
