Answer to Question #302487 in Electric Circuits for SANDRA

Question

If an electric field strength greater tham3.0*10⁶ N/C is enough to cause conduction between the plates. Find the maximum charge either of the plates can hold without conduction.

Answer 1

Answer

Electric field between plates is

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}\\q=\frac{E\epsilon_0}{A}$

Putting the value of area and electric field we get charge.
