$A$ parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating $1\; kV$,using a material of dielectric constant $3$ and dielectric strength about $10^{7}\; V\,m^{-1}$. (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown,i.e.,without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety,we should like the field never to exceed,say $10\%$ of the dielectric strength. What minimum area (in $cm^2$) of the plates is required to have a capacitance of $50\; pF$?

  • A
    $26$
  • B
    $8$
  • C
    $19$
  • D
    $33$
