Physics

A capacitor consists of two concentric spherical shells. Theouter radius of the inner shell is a = 0.1 m and the inner radiusof the outer shell is b = 0.2 m. a. What is the capacitance, C, ofthis capacitor? b. Suppose the maximum possible electric field atthe outer surface of the inner shell before the air starts toionize E max(r=a) = 3.0*10^6 V/m . What is the maximum possiblecharge on the inner capacitor? c. What is the maximum amount ofenergy stored in this capacitor? d. When E (r=a) = 3.0*10^6 V/m,what is the potential difference between the shells?
