A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating $1\; k\,V ,$ using a material of dielectric constant $3$ and dielectric strength about $10^{7}\; V\,m ^{-1} .$ (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say $10 \%$ of the dielectric strength. What minimum area (in $cm^2$) of the plates is required to have a capacitance of $50\; pF ?$
