If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly 3 ✕ 106 N/C, the air breaks down and a spark forms. For a two-disk capacitor of radius 50 cm with a gap of 2 mm, what is the maximum charge (plus and minus) that can be placed on the disks without a spark forming (which would permit charge to flow from one disk to the other) ? The constant ε0 = 8.85 ✕ 10-12 C2 / (N·m2).
