A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed which is to be connected across 1 kV potential difference. The dielectric material which is to be filled between the plates has dielectric constant K=6π and dielectric strength 107 V m-1. For safety, the electric field is never to exceed 10% of the dielectric strength. With such specifications, if we want a capacitor of capacitance 50 pF, what minimum area (in mm2) of plates is required for safe working?

use ε0=136π×10-9 in MKS
