What is the minimum plate separation & area of the plates?
A certain dielectric, with a dielectric constant, 25, can withstand an electric field of 7×10^7 V/m. Suppose we want to use this dielectric to construct a 0.3 microFarad capacitor that can withstand a potential difference of 2000 V.
The permittivity of free space is 8.85×10^-12 C^2/N*m^2.

What must the area of the plates be? Answer in units m^2
