Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

If the dielectric constant and dielectric strength be denoted by k and x respectively, then good capacitor must have:

Options:

high k and high x

high k and low x

low k and low x

low k and high x

Correct Answer:

high k and high x

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → high k and high x

The dielectric strength is the maximum electric field that a pure metal can with stand under ideal conditions without breaking down.

So, for a good capacitor one require high k and high x.
