Two spherical conductors A1 and A2 of radii r1 and r2 and carrying charges q1 and q2 are connected in air by a copper wire as shown in the figure. Then the equivalent capacitance of the system is–
A
(a) r2−r14πε0r1r2
A
(b) 4pĪ0 (r1 + r2)
A
(c) 4pĪ0 r2
A
(d) 4pĪ0 r1
Explanation
Solution
(b)
Ceq = C1 + C2 = 4p e0 (r1 + r2)
