Question
Suppose the space between the two inner shells of the previous problem is filled with a dielectric of dielectric coastant K. Find the capacitance of the system between A and B.

Answer
Here we should consider two spherical capacitor of capacitance
cab and cbc in series
$\text{Cab}=\frac{4\pi\in_0\text{abk}}{(\text{b}-\text{a})}$
$\text{Cbc}=\frac{4\pi\in_0\text{bc}}{(\text{c}-\text{b})}$
$\frac{1}{\text{C}}=\frac{1}{\text{Cab}}+\frac{1}{\text{Cbc}}$
$=\frac{(\text{b}-\text{a})}{4\pi\in_0\text{abk}}+\frac{(\text{c}-\text{b})}{4\pi\in_0\text{bc}}$
$=\frac{\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})+\text{ka}(\text{c}-\text{b})}{\text{k}4\pi\in_0\text{abc}}$
$\text{C}=\frac{\text{k}4\pi\in_0\text{abc}}{\text{c}(\text{b}-\text{a})+\text{ka}(\text{c}-\text{b})}$

The Bohr model for the H-atom relies on the Coulomb’s law of electrostatics. Coulomb’s law has not directly been verified for very short distances of the order of angstroms. Supposing Coulomb’s law between two opposite charge +q1, -q2 is modified to
