The capacitance of an isolated sphere of radius \(r_1\) is increased by 5 times, when it is enclosed by an earthed concentric sphere of radius \(r_2\). The ratio of their radii is

  1. A \(\frac{4}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{1}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{4}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{C}_2=5 \mathrm{C}_1 \\ & \Rightarrow 4 \pi \varepsilon_0\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}_1 r_2}{\mathrm{r}_2-\mathrm{r}_1}\right)=5\left(4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \mathrm{r}_1\right) \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{r}_1 \mathrm{r}_2=5 \mathrm{r}_1 \mathrm{r}_2-5…
