Problem

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area 40  cm240\;\text{cm}^{2} and plate separation 1.0  mm1.0\;\text{mm}. What potential difference must be applied across the plates so that the capacitor stores 5.0  mJ5.0\;\text{mJ} of energy? (Use ε0=8.85×10−12  F/m\varepsilon_{0}=8.85\times10^{-12}\;\text{F/m}.)
