    Taking the earth to be a spherical conductor of diameter\[12.8\times {{10}^{3}}km\]. Its capacity will be:

    A) \[711\,\,\mu F\]                              

    B) \[611\,\,\mu F\]

    C) \[811\,\,\mu F\]                              

    D) \[511\,\,\mu F\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here: diameter of earth \[=12.8\times {{10}^{3}}km\] So, radius\[R=\frac{12.8}{2}\times {{10}^{3}}\]                       \[=6.4\times {{10}^{3}}km\] Capacity\[C=4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}R=6.4\times {{10}^{6}}m\]                 \[=\frac{1}{9\times {{10}^{9}}}\times 6.4\times {{10}^{6}}\]                 \[=711\times {{10}^{-6}}F=711\,\,\mu F\]
