you have a parallel-plate capacitor

a.) determine the electric field between the plates if there is a 120 V potential dofference across the plated and they are separated by 0.5 cm

b.) A spark will jump if the magnitude of the electrix field between the plates exceeds 3.0x10^6 V/m when air separates the plates. what is the closest the plated can be place to esch ither without sparking

c.) if a dialectric (k=2.5) is inserted between the plates how will that affect the answers to a.) and b.) explain

need help with C

The concept used is electric field in between the parallel plate capacitor , after placing the dielectric in between the plate then the electric filed gets reduced by the factor k , and then potential also reduces by the factor k , earlier the maximum separation without spark is more means above that distance there will be no spark occur , but now distance changes after dielectric inserted.
