The correct Answer is:
To find the radius of a spherical capacitor with a capacitance of \(1 \, \mu F\), we can use the formula for the capacitance of a spherical capacitor. The capacitance \(C\) of a spherical capacitor is given by the formula: \[ C = \frac{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r}{1} \] where: - \(C\) is the capacitance, - \(r\) is the radius of the spherical capacitor, - \(\epsilon_0\) is the permittivity of free space, approximately \(8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, F/m\). ### Step 1: Rearranging the formula for \(r\) From the capacitance formula, we can rearrange it to solve for the radius \(r\): \[ r = \frac{C}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \] ### Step 2: Substituting the values Now we can substitute the given value of capacitance \(C = 1 \, \mu F = 1 \times 10^{-6} \, F\) and the value of \(\epsilon_0\): \[ r = \frac{1 \times 10^{-6}}{4 \pi (8.85 \times 10^{-12})} \] ### Step 3: Calculating the denominator Calculating the denominator: \[ 4 \pi \epsilon_0 \approx 4 \times 3.14 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \approx 1.112 \times 10^{-10} \, F \] ### Step 4: Completing the calculation Now substituting this back into our equation for \(r\): \[ r = \frac{1 \times 10^{-6}}{1.112 \times 10^{-10}} \approx 8.99 \times 10^{3} \, m \] ### Step 5: Converting to kilometers To convert meters to kilometers, we divide by \(1000\): \[ r \approx 8.99 \, km \] ### Final Result Thus, the radius of the spherical capacitor is approximately \(9 \, km\).

To find the radius of a spherical capacitor with a capacitance of \(1 \, \mu F\), we can use the formula for the capacitance of a spherical capacitor.
