The capacitance of two concentric spherical shells of radii R1andR2(R2>R1) is:
  1. 4πε0R2R1R1R2
  2. 4πε0R2
  3. 4πε0R1
  4. 4πε0R2R1R2R1

A
4πε0R2
B
4πε0R2R1R1R2
C
4πε0R2R1R2R1
D

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let K=14πϵo
Potential at outer spherical shell is V2=KQR2
Potential at inner spherical shell is V1=KQR1
Potential difference, V=V1V2=KQR1KQR2
Capacitance, C=QV=1K(1R11R2)
C=4πϵoR1R2R2R1
