A parallel-plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating of 1 kV using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about `10^7V//m`. For safety, we would like the field never to exceed (say) `10%` of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance `50muF` ?
