Minimum radius of a sphere

Reference no: EM13679589

If the magnitude of an electric field in air is as great as 3.00×10⁶ N/C, the air becomes ionized and begins to conduct electricity. This phenomenon is called dielectric breakdown. A charge of 13.0 C is to be placed on a conducting sphere. What is the minimum radius of a sphere that can hold this charge without breakdown?
