try this....capacitance

VITEEE 2015 Guidance › Electricity and magnetism questions › try this....capacitance

An isolated conducting sphere of radius R=6.85cm is given a charge of 1.25nC. What is is the radius R₀ of an imaginary spherical surface such that half of the stored potential energy lies within it ?

E ~ 1/C ~ 1/R - 1/RÂ°

now

1/R - 1/RÂ° = 1/2R

RÂ° = 2R

Sharon Amhabjiefbje Sidhusky This will work, but I have a better answer. Should I post my answer?

E= Q²/2C

Q is conserved

so E is proportional to 1/C

also u need to know formula for C of spherical surfaces

Yes, Always charge is conserved. And E is proportional to 1/C.
