Problem 23.37<br />
Description: A potential difference of V is established between parallel plates in air. (a) If the air becomes electrically conducting when the electric field<br />
exceeds E, what is the minimum separation of the plates? (b) When the separation has the minimum value...<br />
A potential difference of 5.05 kV is established between parallel plates in air.<br />
Part A<br />
If the air becomes electrically conducting when the electric field exceeds 2.90×10 6 V/m , what is the minimum separation of the plates?<br />
ANSWER:<br />
= 1.74×10 −3 m<br />
Part B<br />
When the separation has the minimum value calculated in part (a), what is the surface charge density on each plate?<br />
Use 8.85×10 −12 F/m for the permittivity of free space.<br />
ANSWER:<br />
= 2.57×10 −5<br />
C/m 2 V(x,y,z) = Axy − B + Cy<br />
