Question

Given a 7.4 pF air-filled capacitor, you are asked to convert it to a capacitor that can store up to 7.85 μJ with a maximum potential difference of 672 V. What dielectric in the table above should you use to fill the gap in the air capacitor if you do not allow for a margin of error?

Multiple choice:

polystyrene

paper    

pyrex

ruby mica

porcelain

silicon

germanium

titania

ceramic

strontium

titanate

(please show units in your calculations so that I can follow the work easier)
