JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
Capacitance of an isolated conducting sphere of radius \(R_{1}\) becomes \(n\) times when it is enclosed by a concentric conducting sphere of radius \(R_{2}\) connected to earth. The ratio of their radii \(\left(\frac{ R _{2}}{ R _{1}}\right)\) is:
- A \(\frac{ n }{ n -1}\)
- B \(\frac{2 n}{2 n+1}\)
- C \(\frac{ n +1}{ n }\)
- D \(\frac{2 n+1}{n}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\frac{ n }{ n -1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Capacitance of isolated Conducting sphere \(=4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R_{1}\) By enclosing inside another sphere of radius \(R_{2}\), new capacitance \(=\frac{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R_{1} R_{2}}{\left(R_{2}-R_{1}\right)}\) Given:…
