You are asked to construct a capacitor having a capacitance near 1nF and a breakdown potential in excess of 10,000 V. You think ofusing the sides of a tall Pyrex drinking glass as a dielectric, lining the inside and outside curved surfaces with aluminum foil. The glass is 16cm tall with an inner radius of 3.1cm and an outerradius of 3.5cm.
a) For this capacitor, what is the capacitance?
b) What is the breakdown potential?
