1. Using spherical coordinates, find the capacitance formed by two concentric spherical
conducting shells of radius a, and b. What is the capacitance of a metallic marble with a
diameter of 1cm in free space? Hint: let π β β, thus, πΆ = 4πππ0π = 0.55ππΉ.
Solution: Suppose the inner sphere has a surface charge density of +ππ. The outer surface
charge density is negative, and proportionally smaller (by (π/π)
2
) to keep the total charge
the same.
From Gaussβs law:

2. Consider the parallel plate capacitor containing two different dielectrics. Find the total
capacitance as a function of the parameters shown in the figure.
Solution: Since in the boundary no charge exists (perfect insulator), the normal component
of the electric flux density has to be equal in each dielectric. That is:
π·1 = π·ππ
Accordingly:
π1πΈ1 = π2πΈππ
Assuming a surface charge density of +ππ for the top plate, and βππ for the bottom plate, the
electric field (or flux has a component only in z direction, and we have:
π·1 = π·ππ = βππππ§
If the potential between the top ad bottom plates is π0, based on the line integral we obtain:
π1+π2
π0 = β οΏ½ πΈ. ππ§ = β οΏ½

which is analogous to two parallel capacitors.
3. What would be the capacitance of the structure in problem 2 if there were a third conductor
with zero thickness at the interface of the dielectrics? How would the electric field lines
look? How does the capacitance change if the spacing between the top and bottom plates are
kept the same, but the conductor thickness is not zero?
Solution: If the conductor is perfect, opposite charges are formed on the surface, but the
capacitance remains the same, that is to say, the electric fields terminate to the conductor, but
are not altered.
If the conductor thickness is greater than zero, but the total distance between the top and
bottom plates is the same (π1 + π2), we expect the capacitance to increase.
