  1. A 10.8 cm
  2. B 0.108 cm
  3. C 1.08 cm
  4. D 108 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 10.8 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( U = \frac{Q^2}{2C} = \frac{Q^2}{2(4\pi\epsilon_0 R)} \) \( R = \frac{Q^2}{8\pi\epsilon_0 U} \) \( R = \frac{(12 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C})^2}{8\pi(8.854 \times 10^{-12} \text{ F/m})(6 \text{ J})} \)…
