MCQ

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

Statement $1$ : It is not possible to make a sphere of capacity $1$ farad using a conducting material.
Statement $2$ : It is possible for earth as its radius is $6.4\times10^6\, m$

A
Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true,
Statement $2$ is the correct explanation of Statement $1$.
B
Statement $1$ is false. Statement $2$ is true.
C
Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is true,
Statement $2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement $1$
✓
Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Statement $1$ is true, Statement $2$ is false

d
Capacitance of sphere is given by:

$C=4 \pi \in_{0} r$

If, $C=1\, \mathrm{F}$ then radius of sphere needed:

$r=\frac{C}{4 \pi \in_{0}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$

or, $r=\frac{10^{12}}{4 \pi \times 8.85}=9 \times 10^{9}\, \mathrm{m}$

$9 \times 10^{9}\, \mathrm{m}$ is very large, it is not possible to obtain such a large sphere. Infact earth has radius $6.4 \times 10^{6}\, \mathrm{m}$ only and capacitance of earth is $711\, \mu \mathrm{F}$
