(a) How much charge can be placed on a capacitor with air between the plates before it breaks down if the area of each plate is 6.00 cm2? (Assume air has a dielectric strength of 3.00 ✕ 106 V/m and dielectric constant of 1.00.) nC

(b) Find the maximum charge if bakelite is used between the plates instead of air. (Assume bakelite has a dielectric strength of 24.0 ✕ 106 V/m and dielectric constant of 4.9.) nC
