Radius of a spherical conductor is 2m, T...

Radius of a spherical conductor is `2m`, This is kept in dielectric medium of dielectric constant `10^6N//C`. Find
a. capacitance of the conductor
b. maximum charge which can be stored on this conductor.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D

a. `C=4piepsilon_0R`
`=(1/(9xx10^9))(2)`
b. Maximum electric field on the surface of sphereical conductor is
`E=1/(4piepsilon_0)q/R^2`
This should not exceed `10^6N//C`
`:. E_max=1/(4piepsilon_0) q_max/R^2=10^6`
`impliesq_max=(4piepsilon_0)R^2(10^6)`
`=((1)/(9xx10^9))(2)^2(10^6)`
`=4.4xx10^-4C`
