1. What plate area is required if an air-filled, parallel-plate capacitor with a plate separation of 2.3 mm is to have a capacitance of 24 pF?
Which I found correctly to be 6.2 x 10^-3 m^2 by using the formula C= k(8.85x10^-12)A/d
What is the maximum voltage that can be applied to this capacitor without causing dielectric breakdown?
2. I know V=Q/C, and that I have C, but I'm not sure what to substitute for Q, or if I need another formula completely. Help?
