Question

Que no 12
Series or parallel combination!!?
How do we decide that??!

12 Two conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2
are kept widely separated from each other What are their individual
capacitances? If the spheres are connected by a metal wire, what
will be the capacitance of the combination? Think in terms of
series-parallel connections

Dear Student ,

The combination is necessarily parallel
Hence Ceq = 4πε0R1
+4πε0R2 =
4πε0(R1 + R2)
