Suppose you have two parallel conducting plates that are separated by 2.2 mm.
a. What will the electric field strength between the plates be (in N/C) if they have a potential difference of 4.6 × 103 V?
E =
b. The electric breakdown strength for a particular medium, also called the dielectric strength, is the point at which electrons bound to the molecules of the medium begin to be stripped off due to the large electric field. How close together must the plates be with this applied voltage in order to achieve breakdown strength for air (3.0 × 106 V/m) in mm?
