MCQ

The capacitance $(C)$ for an isolated conducting sphere of radius $(a)$ is given by $4\pi \varepsilon_0a$. If the sphere is enclosed with an earthed concentric sphere. The ratio of the radii of the spheres $\frac{n}{{(n - 1)}}$ being then the capacitance of such a sphere will be increased by a factor

✓
$n$
B
$\frac{n}{{(n - 1)}}$
C
$\frac{{(n - 1)}}{n}$
D
$a \cdot n$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$n$

a
Capacity of an insulated spherical capacitor of radius $b$ is $4 \pi \in_{0} b$ where there is a system of two shell with outer shell being earthed, the system behaves as a capacitor with capacitance,

$C=4 \pi \in_{0}\left(\frac{a b}{a-b}\right)=n .4 \pi \in_{0}$

$\left(\frac{a}{a-b}\right)=n$
