उत्तर
We have two capacitors: one made by the shells a and c and the other made by the shells b and c.
The capacitance of the capacitor `C_(ac)` is given by
`C_(ac) = (4pi∈_0acK)/((c-a))`
The capacitance of the capacitor `C_(cb)` is given by
`C_(cb) = (4pi∈_0bcK)/(K(b-c)`
The two capacitors are in series; thus, the equivalent capacitance is given by
`1/C = 1/C_(ac) + 1/C_(cb)`
⇒ `1/C = ((c-a))/(4pi∈_0acK) + ((b-c))/(4pi∈_0cb)`
⇒ `1/C = (b(c-a)+Ka(b-c))/(K4pi∈_0abc)`
⇒ `C = (K4pi∈_0abc)/(b(c-a)+Ka(b-c))`

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
