If 27 indentical charged conducting spheres each of capacitance \(10 \mu \mathrm{~F}\) combine to form a big sphere, then the capacitance of the big sphere is

  1. A \(30 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
  2. B \(270 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
  3. C \(90 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
  4. D \(10 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(30 \mu \mathrm{~F}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R_{\text{big}} = (27)^{1/3} R_{\text{small}} = 3 R_{\text{small}}\) \(C_{\text{big}} = 3 C_{\text{small}}\) \(C_{\text{big}} = 3 \times 10 \, \mu\mathrm{F} = 30 \, \mu\mathrm{F}\)
