उत्तर
Charge that the capacitor can hold = 12 μC
Operating voltage = 1200 V
Breakdown strength, b = `3 xx 10^6 "Vm"^-1`
The separation between the plates of the capacitor is given by `d = V/b = 1200/(3 xx 10^6) = 4 xx 10^-4 "m"`
The capacitance of the capacitor is given by `C = Q/V = (12 xx 10^-6)/1200 = 10^-8 "F"`
The capacitance can be expressed in terms of the area of the plates (A) and the separation of the plates (d) as : `C = (∈_0A)/d = 10^-8 "F"`
Thus, the area of the plates is given by
`A = (10^-8 xx (4 xx 10^-4))/(8.854 xx 10^-12) = 0.45 "m"^2`
