Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular aluminum plates, each 13 cm in diameter, separated by 1.0 cm. How much charge can be added to each of the plates before a spark jumps between the two plates? For such flat electrodes, assume that value of 3×106N/C of the field causes a spark.
