Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the individual capacitances of two widely separated conducting spheres with radii \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Capacitance for a Sphere The capacitance \( C \) of a conducting sphere is given by the formula: \[ C = 4 \pi \epsilon_0 R \] where \( R \) is the radius of the sphere and \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space. ...
