2) You have a box full of parallel plate capacitors with circular plates of radius ro and plate separation d. А. What is the capacitance, Co, of one of these capacitors? В. Your friend has a similar capacitor C1 with the same plate separation, but plates of radius 2ro. (i) How many times larger/smaller is the capacitance of C1 compared to Co? (ii) How many times more/less energy could the C1 capacitor store compared to Co when connected to a battery? С. How could you use your Co capacitors to make a configuration whose equivalent capacitance is C1?

Explain in a few words why a spherical capacitor of the same plate
separation and same external surface area as Co would have difference
capacitance.
