Capacitance of Parallel Plate Capacitors
 

Capacitance of Parallel Plate Capacitors problem 3


A metal ball is surrounded by a thin ball shell. The metal ball is charged with a charge of . The shell is also charged with the same charge size but the opposite sign. The radius of the metal ball is 2 cm and the radius of the outer shell is 13 cm.

  • What is the electric field strength in the space between the ball and the shell at half the distance between them?

  • What is the capacitance of such a spherical capacitor?
