Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3××1066 N/CN/C, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two 4.5 cmcm ×× 4.5 cmcm electrodes. How many electrons must be transferred from one electrode to the other to create a spark between the electrodes?
A parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance C0 = 8.00 pF when there is air between the plates. The separation between the plates is 1.20 mm. Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Ra1 +9 -9 Rea Consider two concentric spherical conductors, separated by an isolating material with (absolute) permittivity e. The two conductors have radius R1 and R2, they are put on a potential V and V2, which leads to a charge +q and –q sitting on them, respectively. By the problem's spherical symmetry, we see that the charge on each conductor is distributed uniformly, and that, in spherical coordinates, the electric field between the two conductors is of the form E(r) = -E(r) er. Determine the capacity C using the following steps: 1. Use Gauss's Law in integral form, with N a ball of radius r (R2 < r < R1), to find an expression for E(r) in terms of q. 2. Calculate AV = Vị – V2 using the formula - E•dr Δν and with C the black line segment indicated on the drawing (parallel with e,). 3. The capacity now follows from C = q/AV.
