Breakdown Potential of Parallel Plates Capacitor

[Mr Genius]

I want to know, for a given parallel plates capacitor, the breakdown potential equals to
Vmax=Emax × d or Vmax=Emax/d
Where d is the distance between the plates of the capacitor

 

[cnh1995]

Since E=dV/dx..

Vmax=Emax × d

In addition to cnh1995's answer, you can use dimensional analysis to help you remember the answer. Just remember that the units of Electric Field are Volts per meter.
