- Tutorial Exercise An air-filled spherical capacitor is constructed with an inner-shell radius of 6.95 cm and an outer-shell radius of 14.5 cm. (a) Calculate the capacitance of the device. (b) What potential difference between the spheres results in a 4.00-μC charge on the capacitor? Part 1 of 4 - Conceptualize Since the separation between the inner and outer shells is much larger than a typical electronic capacitor with separation on the order of 0.1 mm and capacitance in the microfarad range, we expect the capacitance of this spherical configuration to be on the order of picofarads. The potential difference should be sufficiently low to avoid sparking through the air that separates the shells.

We will then calculate the voltage found from Q = CAV.arrow_forwardI need help figuring out how to do part 2 with the information given in part 1 and putting it in to the simulation.
