The gap between the electrodes of a spark plug in an automobile is 0.64 mm. In order to produce an electric field of 3.0 x 10^6 V/m (required to initiate an electric spark), what minimum potential difference must you apply to the spark plug?


A bug zapper consists of two metal plates connected to ahigh-voltage power supply. The voltage between the plates is set togive an electric field slightly less than 1×106 V/m .When a bug flies between the two plates, it increases the fieldenough to initiate a spark that incinerates the bug.


If a bug zapper has a 7000 V power supply, what is the approximateseparation between the plates?
(a) 7×10-2 cm
(b) 0.7 cm
(c) 7 cm
(d) 70 cm

Problem 14: Suppose you have two parallel conducting plates that are separated by 2.2 mm. Part (a)What will the electric field strength between the plates be (in N/C) if they have a?  Part (b) The electric breakdown strength for a particular medium, also called the dielectric strength, is the point at which electrons bound to the molecules of the medium begin to be stripped off due to the large electric field. How close together must the plates be with this applied voltage in order to achieve breakdown strength for air (3.0 x 106 V/m) in mm?
