The correct Answer is:
To find the diameter of a spherical conductor given its capacitance, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Given Information**: - The capacitance \( C \) of the spherical conductor is given as \( 1 \, \mu F \). - Convert microfarads to farads: \[ C = 1 \, \mu F = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, F \] 2. **Recall the Formula for Capacitance of a Spherical Conductor**: - The formula for the capacitance \( C \) of a spherical conductor is given by: \[ C = 4 \pi \epsilon_0 r \] where \( r \) is the radius of the sphere and \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. 3. **Substitute the Known Values**: - We need to find the radius \( r \). Rearranging the formula gives: \[ r = \frac{C}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \] - The value of \( \epsilon_0 \) is approximately \( 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, F/m \). 4. **Calculate \( r \)**: - Substitute the values into the equation: \[ r = \frac{1 \times 10^{-6}}{4 \pi (8.85 \times 10^{-12})} \] - Calculate \( 4 \pi \epsilon_0 \): \[ 4 \pi \epsilon_0 \approx 4 \times 3.14 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \approx 1.11 \times 10^{-10} \, F/m \] - Now substituting this back: \[ r = \frac{1 \times 10^{-6}}{1.11 \times 10^{-10}} \approx 9.01 \times 10^{3} \, m \] 5. **Calculate the Diameter \( d \)**: - The diameter \( d \) is given by: \[ d = 2r \] - Substitute the value of \( r \): \[ d = 2 \times 9.01 \times 10^{3} \approx 1.80 \times 10^{4} \, m \] ### Final Answer: The diameter of the spherical conductor is approximately \( 1.80 \times 10^{4} \, m \).
