Electrostatics Question 97
Question: A parallel plate capacitor has a plate separation of 0.01 mm and use a dielectric (whose dielectric strength is 19 KV/mm) as an insulator. The maximum potential difference that can be applied to the terminals of the capacitor is [AMU (Engg.) 1999]
Options:
A) 190 V
B) 290 V
C) 95 V
D) 350 V
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Maximum potential difference $ =19\frac{kV}{mm}\times 0.01mm=0.19kV=190V $
