Question: a. Find an expression for the capacitance of a spherical capacitor, consisting of concentric spherical shells of radii R 1 (inner shell) and R 2

a. Find an expression for the capacitance of a spherical capacitor, consisting of concentric spherical shells of radii R1 (inner shell) and R2 (outer shell).
b. A spherical capacitor with a 1.0 mm gap between the shells has a capacitance of 100 pF. What are the diameters of the two spheres?
