Answer to Question #45157 in Electricity and Magnetism for Anurodh

Question

Suppose you have to design a parallel plate capacitor having capacitance 4.2 nF and the
value of maximum operating potential for the capacitor is to be 4*10^4 V. Further, the
dielectric material to be filled between the plates must be nylon whose dielectric
strength is 25*10^6 V/m and its dielectric constant is 2.6. Calculate the minimum
plate area you can use for such a capacitor.
