The radius of the circular plates of a p...

The radius of the circular plates of a parallel plate condenser is `'r'`. Air is there as the dielectric. The distance between the plates if its capacitance is equal to that of an isolated sphere of radius `r'` is.

A

`(r^(2))/(4r')`

B

`(r^(2))/(r')`

C

`(r )/(r')`

D

`(r^(2))/(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(in_(0) (pi r^(2)))/(d) = 4pi in_(0)r^(1) "" :. d = (r^(2))/(4r^(1))`
