If the type of plastic used for insulating electric wires has a breakdown field 5 x 107 V/m, determine the minimum thickness required to insulate a domestic household supply (assuming a voltage of 240 V). Compare this with the actual thickness of insulation used in practice, which is typically about 0.5mm).
