    What is the maximum charge on plates when dielectric removed

    88.5 cm^2 = 0.885 m^2

    What is the maximum charge on plates when dielectric removed

    Sorry the 10^-12 was a typo. Indeed when I did the calculation I used 10^-8 for C. Also I converted cm^2 to m^2 and converted MV and kV to volts.

    What is the maximum charge on plates when dielectric removed

    Homework Statement A capacitor with two parallel plates of area 88.5 cm2 and nylon (dielectric strength 14 MV/m) inserted between them breaks down when a potential difference of 5.80 kV is applied. What is the maximum charge the plates will hold when the nylon is removed and the space filled...
