The space between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is filled with a mica sheet of thickness $1 \times 10^{-3} \,m$ and a fiber sheet of thickness $0.5 \times 10^{-3} \,m$. The dielectric constants of mica and fiber are $8$ and $2.5$ respectively. If the fiber breaks down at an electric field of $6.4 \times 10^6 \,V/m$, then the maximum voltage that can be applied to the capacitor is: (in $\,V$)

  • A
    $3400$
  • B
    $5200$
  • C
    $2700$
  • D
