Apprentice123 said:potential difference of
V = (Q*d)/(E.*A)
I do not have Q
LowlyPion said:You don't need Q.
The dielectric strength is only dependent on distance, and that you are given.
Apprentice123 said:I do not know the formula. But what you are saying is that:
V / (Dielectric strength) = separation between plates ?
ideasrule said:Yes! V=Ed, or V/E=d, for uniform E.
Apprentice123 said:But I do not have E
ideasrule said:What are the units for dielectric strength?
Apprentice123 said:In this problem I have the dielectric constant (no unit). I do not have the dielectric strength
LowlyPion said:The link I gave you earlier has a number for the dielectric strength.

You know the thickness, so figure the maximum voltage.
Apprentice123 said:which symbol to Dielectric strength ?
Maximum potential capacitance is the maximum amount of electric charge that can be stored in a capacitor at a given voltage. It is a measure of the capacitor's ability to store energy.
Maximum potential capacitance is typically measured in farads (F). It can be calculated by dividing the amount of charge stored in the capacitor by the voltage applied to it.
The maximum potential capacitance of a capacitor is affected by its physical characteristics, such as the distance between the plates, the surface area of the plates, and the type of dielectric material used. It is also affected by the voltage applied to the capacitor.
Maximum potential capacitance is important because it determines the amount of energy that can be stored in a capacitor. This is crucial for many electronic devices, as capacitors are used to store and release energy quickly.
Yes, maximum potential capacitance can be increased by increasing the surface area of the capacitor plates, decreasing the distance between the plates, or using a dielectric material with a higher permittivity. However, there is always a limit to the maximum potential capacitance that a capacitor can achieve.
