Answer #1

The energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given by

Therefore, the capacitance of cardiac defibrillator containing parallel plate capacitor is

Now, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with dielectric is related to the plate area and the distance between the plates by the relation

     

  

Hence, the distance between the plates is

  

  

Therefore. distance between the plates is
