A parallel-plate capacitor contains a mica sheet (thickness `10^(-3)`m) and a sheet of fibre (thickness `0.5xx10^(-3)`m). The dielectric constant of mica is 8 and that of the fibre is 2.5. Assuming that the fibre breaks down when subjected to an electric field of `6.4xx10^(6)Vm^(-1)`, find the maximum safe voltage that can be applied to the capacitor.
