Hi Larry/All,

==> I think it will be Electric field strength (V/m) that causes dielectric 
breakdown. In the case at hand since the plates are close by, comparatively 
small voltages would be sufficient to break-down. In any case, there can't be a 
breakdown "voltage" for a dielectric (say,ceramic) only the field strength.

Please correct me.

Thanks,
