Paper has a dielectric constant K=3.7 and a dielectric

Chapter 17, Problem 82GP

(choose chapter or problem)

Paper has a dielectric constant  and a dielectric strength of \(15 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}\). Suppose that a typical sheet of paper has a thickness of . You make a "homemade" capacitor by placing a sheet of \(21 x 14 \mathrm{~cm}\) paper between two aluminum foil sheets (Fig.  ) of the same size. (a) What is the capacitance  of your device?  About how much charge could you store on your capacitor before it would break down?
