Question: A spherical capacitor is made of an inner solid conducting sphere of radius 0.1 m and an outer conducting shell of inner radius 0.2 m

 A spherical capacitor is made of an inner solid conducting sphere

A spherical capacitor is made of an inner solid conducting sphere of radius 0.1 m and an outer conducting shell of inner radius 0.2 m and outer radius 0.3 m. A battery of voltage 10 V is connected between the inner and outer conductors as shown in the figure (with the positive pole connected to the inner conductor). (The capacitance for a spherical capacitor ab is given by C = 4ME. b - a a) What is the capacitance of this configuration (in Farads)? b) What is the charge (in C) on the inner conducting sphere? Where does the charge reside (on the outer surface, inner surface, or uniformly throughout? c) What is the charge (in C) on the outer conducting shell? Where does the charge reside (on the outer surface, inner surface, or uniformly throughout)? d) What is the magnitude of the electric field (in N/C) a. Inside the conducting sphere at r = 0.05 m ? b. Between the conductors at r = 0.15 m ? c. Within the outer shell at r = 0.25 m ? d. Outside the shell atr = 0.4 m ? e) How much energy (in ]) must the battery supply to charge this capacitor to 10 V? 10V Q.1my 0.2 m 0.3 m
