The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a mica sheet of thickness 1 10⁻³ ~m and a fiber sheet of thickness 0.5 10⁻³ ~m . The dielectric constants of mica and fiber are 8 and 2.5 respectively. If the fiber breaks down at an electric field of 6.4 10⁻⁶ Vm ⁻¹ then the maximum voltage that can be applied to the capacitor is
Options
