प्रश्न
A spherical capacitor consists of two concentric spherical conductors, held in position by suitable insulating supports. Show that the capacitance of a spherical capacitor is given by
C = `(4piin_0"r"_1"r"_2)/("r"_1 - "r"_2)`
where r1 and r2 are the radii of outer and inner spheres, respectively.
उत्तर
Radius of the outer shell = r1
Radius of the inner shell = r2
The inner surface of the outer shell has charge +Q.
The outer surface of the inner shell has induced charge −Q.
Potential difference between the two shells is given by,
`"V" = "Q"/(4piin_0"r"_2) - "Q"/(4piin_0"r"_1)`
Where,
`in_0` = Permittivity of free space
`"V" ="Q"/(4piin_0)[1/"r"_2 - 1/"r"_1]`
= `("Q"("r"_1 - "r"_2))/(4piin_0"r"_1"r"_2]`
Capacitance of the given system is given by
C = `"Charge (Q)"/"Potenstial difference (V)"`
= `(4piin_0"r"_1"r"_2)/("r"_1 - "r"_2)`
Hence, proved.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
