Assume the earth to be a spherical conductor of radius 6400 km. Calculate the capacitance of earth.

  1. A 711 nF
  2. B 7.11 nF
  3. C 7.11 \( \mu F \)
  4. D 711 \( \mu F \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 711 \( \mu F \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( C = 4 \pi \epsilon_0 r \) \( C = \frac{1}{9 \times 10^9 \, \text{F/m}} \times 6400 \times 10^3 \, \text{m} \) \( C = \frac{6.4 \times 10^6}{9 \times 10^9} \, \text{F} \) \( C \approx 0.7111 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{F} \) \( C \approx 711.1 \, \mu\text{F} \)
