    The diameter of each plate of an air capacitor is 4 cm. To make the capacity of this plate capacitor equal to that of 20 cm diameter sphere, the distance between the plates will be

    A) \[4\times {{10}^{-3}}m\]                              

    B)  \[1\times {{10}^{-3}}m\]

    C)  1cm                                      

    D)  \[1\times {{10}^{-3}}cm\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[{{r}_{1}}=\frac{4}{2}=2\,cm=2\times {{10}^{-2}}m\] \[{{r}_{2}}=\frac{20}{2}=10\,cm=10\times {{10}^{-2}}m\] Capacity of parallel plate capacitor = capacitor of spherical capacitor i.e.,         \[\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}A}{d}=4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{r}_{2}}\]        or          \[\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\pi r_{1}^{2}}{d}=4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{r}_{2}}\] or            \[d=\frac{r_{1}^{2}}{4{{r}_{2}}}\] \[\therefore \]\[d=\frac{{{(2\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{2}}}{4\times 10\times {{10}^{-2}}}=\frac{4\times {{10}^{-4}}}{4\times {{10}^{-1}}}=1\times {{10}^{-3}}m\] Distance between plates\[=1\times {{10}^{-3}}m\].
