Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

Question:

The conducting spherical shells shown in the figure are connected by a conductor. The capacitance of the system is

Options:

$4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \frac{a b}{b-a}$

$4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a$

$4 \pi \varepsilon_0 b$

$4 \pi \varepsilon_0 \frac{a^2}{b-a}$

Correct Answer:

$4 \pi \varepsilon_0 b$

Explanation:

Hence, the capacitance of the system is the capacitance due to outer sphere of radius b.

∴ C = 4πε0b

(C) is correct choice.
