Figure EX26.3 is a graph of . What is the potential difference between and ?

a. Find an expression for the capacitance of a spherical capacitor, consisting of concentric spherical shells of radii (inner shell) and (outer shell).
b. A spherical capacitor with a gap between the shells has a capacitance of . What are the diameters of the two spheres?
An ideal parallel-plate capacitor has a uniform electric field between the plates, zero-field outside. By superposition, half the field strength is due to one plate and a half due to the other.
a. The plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are oppositely charged and attract each other. Find an expression in terms of and the plate separation for the force one plate exerts on the other.
b. What is the attractive force on each plate of a capacitor with a plate spacing whencharged to ?
The parallel-plate capacitor in Figure Q26.11 is connected to a battery having potential difference . Without breaking any of the connections, insulating handles are used to increase the plate separation to .

a. Does the potential difference change as the separation increases? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
b. Does the capacitance change? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
c. Does the capacitor charge change? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
The two metal spheres in Figure Q26.9 are connected by a metal wire with a switch in the middle. Initially the switch is open. Sphere 1, with the larger radius, is given a positive charge. Sphere 2, with the smaller radius, is neutral. Then the switch is closed. Afterward, sphere 1 has charge , is at potential , and the electric field strength at its surface is . The values for sphere 2 are .
