If the electric field exceeds the value 3.0 × 106
NC–1, there will be sparking in
air. What is the highest value of charge that a metallic sphere can hold without
sparking in the surrounding air, if the radius of the sphere is 5.0 cm?

This situation is known as electrical breakdown, in which the electron in the material can not be bound by nuclei.
E=kQ/r
3x(10)6=(9x(10)9xQ)/5x(10)-2
Q={1.67x(10)-5}C
