A parallel-plate capacitor contains a mica sheet of thickness 10-3 m and a sheet of fibre of thickness 0.5×10-3 m. The dielectric constant of mica is 8 and that of fibre is 2.5. Assuming that the fibre breaks down when subjected to an electric field of 6.4×106 V/m find the maximum safe voltage that can be applied to the capacitor.

A parallel-plate capacitor with a plate separation of  d1=1cm has 29kV applied across the plates. Show why the air breaks down when a thin piece of glass (K=6.5) with a dielectric strength of 290kV/cm and thickness d2=0.20 cm is inserted as shown in figure. An air has a dielectric strength of 30kV/cm.

 One plate of a capacitor is fixed and the other plate is connected to a spring, other end of which is attached to a right wall Fig. The plate area of the capacitor is A and the separation between the plates is d. When the switch S is closed, the distance between the plates is d. When the switch S is closed, the distance between the plates reduces to a steady value 0.8 d. Find the force constant k of the spring.
