To measure the capacitance of a conductor, it is first charged to a potential Vo = 1350V. It is then connected by a conducting wire to a distant metal sphere of radius r = 3cm. As a result the conductor potential drops to Vi = 900V. Choose the correct option(s): (A) Initial charge on the conductor is 9nC (B) Capacitance of the conductor is nF (C) Charge on the metal sphere after connection is 6nC (D) Electrostatic potential energy To measure the capacitance of a conductor, it is first charged to a potential Vo = 1350V.
