Question
If two spherical capacitors have radii of inner and outer spheres as (a, b) and (c, d) respectively, and they have the same capacitance, then
Solution
The capacitance (C) of a spherical capacitor is given by the formula:
C = 4πε₀ (ab/(b-a)) for the first capacitor and C = 4πε₀ (cd/(d-c)) for the second capacitor.
Given that the capacitances are equal, we can set the two equations equal to each other:
4πε₀ (ab/(b-a)) = 4πε₀ (cd/(d-c))
Solving for one of the variables (for example, d) gives:
d = c [1 + (ab/(b-a)) / (cd/(d-c))]
This equation can be used to find the radius of the outer sphere of the second capacitor (d) given the radii of the inner and outer spheres of the first capacitor (a and b), the radius of the inner sphere of the second capacitor (c), and the capacitances of the two capacitors.
