Chapter 24: EXAMPLE 2:Cylindrical capacitor. A cylindrical capacitor consists of a cylinder (or wire) of radius Rb surrounded by a coaxial cylindrical shell of inner radius Ra, Fig. 6a. Both cylinders have length which we assume is much greater than the separation of the cylinders, Ra-Rb so we can neglect end effects. The capacitor is charged (by connecting it to a battery) so that one cylinder has a charge +(say,Q the inner one) and the other one a charge -Q. Determine a formula for the capacitance?
n this example, we explore a cylindrical capacitor configuration consisting of a cylinder and a coaxial cylindrical shell. The cylinder has a radius 'a' and the shell has an inner radius 'b'. Both components are assumed to have a length much greater than the separation between them, allowing us to neglect end effects. The capacitor is charged by connecting it to a battery, with one cylinder holding a charge (typically the inner one) and the other cylinder holding a charge. Join us as we derive a formula for the capacitance of this cylindrical capacitor setup, providing insights into the principles of capacitance in physics.
