17. (a) will the electric field strength between two parallel conducting plates exceed the breakdown strength for air ( 3.0×106 v/m ) if the plates are separated by 2.00 mm and 5.0×103 v a potential difference of is applied? (b) how close together can the plates be with this applied voltage?

Explanation:

Distance between plates d = 2 x 10⁻³m

Potential diff applied = 5 x 10³ V

Electric field = Potential diff applied /  d

= 5 x 10³  / 2 x 10⁻³

= 2.5 x 10⁶ V/m

This is less than  breakdown strength for air  3.0×10⁶ V/m

b ) Let the plates be at a separation of d .so

5 x 10³ / d = 3.0×10⁶ ( break down voltage )

d = 5 x 10³  / 3.0×10⁶

= 1.67 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.67 mm.

beta is electron from nucleus

something from nucleus has changed, but charge must be same for cons of charge

i really dont know but i will try okay.

so i think u would just add all them up and get your answer..
