Problem 6 You have a parallel-plate capacitor a) Determine the electric field between the plates if there is a 100V potential difference across the plates and they are separated by 0.5cm b) A spark will jump if the magnitude of the electric field between the plates exceeds 5.0x106 V/m when air separates the plates. What is the closest the plates can be place to each other without sparking? (10pts) c) If a dielectric (K=2.0) is inserted between the plates how will that effect the answers to a) and b). Explain (10pts)
