A parallel plate capacitor is formed by ...

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 made of two circular plates separated by a distance 5mm and with a dielectric of dielectric constant 2.2 between them. When the electric field in the dielectric is 3xx10^4V//m the charge density of the positive plate will be close to:

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 KV using a material of dielectrical constant 3 and dielectric strength about 10^(7) Vm^(-1) . [Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without break down, i.e, without starting to conduct electrically 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 ?
