A spherical condenser has inner and outer spheres of radii $a$ and $b$ respectively. The space between the two is filled with air. The difference between the capacities of two condensers formed when outer sphere is earthed and when inner sphere is earthed will be

A

Zero

B

$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}a$

C

$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}b$

D

$4\pi {\varepsilon _0}a\left( {\frac{b}{{b - a}}} \right)$

Solution

(c) Capacity when outer sphere is earthed
${C_1} = 4\pi {\varepsilon _0}\frac{{ab}}{{b – a}}$
Capacity when inner sphere is earthed
${C_2} = 4\pi {\varepsilon _0}b + \frac{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}ab}}{{b – a}} = 4\pi {\varepsilon _0}\left( {\frac{{{b^2}}}{{b – a}}} \right)$
Difference in capacity = $C_2 -C_1 = 4\pi {\varepsilon _0}b$

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.

Assertion $A:$ Two metallic spheres are charged to the same potential. One of them is hollow and another is solid, and both have the same radii. Solid sphere will have lower charge than the hollow one.

Reason $R:$ Capacitance of metallic spheres depend on the radii of spheres.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
