If the magnitude of an electric field in air is as great as
3.00×106 N/C, the air becomes ionized and begins to
conduct electricity. This phenomenon is called dielectric
breakdown. A charge of 23.6 μC is to be placed on a
conducting sphere. What is the minimum radius of a sphere that can
hold this charge without breakdown?

If the magnitude of an electric field in air is as great as 3.00×106 N/C, the air becomes ionized and begins to conduct electricity. This phenomenon is called dielectric breakdown. A charge of 14.4 μC is to be placed on a conducting sphere. What is the minimum radius of a sphere that can hold this charge without breakdown?

The dielectric strength of air, E = 3.0×106 V/m, is the maximum field that air can withstand before it breaks down and becomes conducting. How much charge can be placed on a spherical conductor with a 8.0- cm radius before the field at its surface exceeds the breakdown strength of the air? The answer to this section is 2.14×10-6 C. My question: What would be the electric potential at the surface of this conductor?

The dielectric strength of air (that is, the maximum electric field air can withstand before it becomes a conductor due to ionization) is 3.0 times 10^6 V/m. Small van de Graaf generators are commonly used in hair-raising demonstrations that must achieve a high electric potential. A spherical conductor has a radius of 30 cm (about 1 ft). What is the maximum charge that can be placed on the sphere before dielectric breakdown of the surrounding air occurs? For the charge...

Electric charge can accumulate on an airplane in flight. You may have observed needle-shaped metal extensions on the wing tips and tail of an airplane. Their purpose is to allow charge to leak off before much of it accumulates. The electric field around the needle is much larger than the field around the body of the airplane and, can become large enough to produce dielectric breakdown of the air, discharging the airplane. To model this process, assume that two charged...
