Question:

(a) Will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air (3.0 × 106 V/m) if the plates are separated by 2.00 mm and a potential difference of 5.0 × 103 V is applied?

(b) How close together can the plates be with this applied voltage?
