2 33 A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV using a material of dielectri constant 3 and dielectric strength 10 Vm Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field material can tolerate without breakdown i e without starting to conduct electricity through partic ionisation For safety we should like the field never to exceed say 10 of the dielectric strength What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF ns The dielectric strength of a material is defined as the maximum value of electric field which it can tolerate without breakdown If
