Question:

An isolated sphere has a capacitance of 60 pF. what is the radius of the sphere?

Options:

540 cm

54 cm

0.054 cm

0.54 cm

Correct Answer:

54 cm

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 54 cm

The capacitance of a capacitor is,

$C=4πε_0r$

$⇒r=\frac{C}{4πε_0}=\frac{60×10^{-12}}{4π×8.85×10^{-12}}$

$≃0.538m=53.8cm$
