Match the arrangement with its capacitance.

1. Parallel plates   2. Coaxial cylinders   3. Isolated sphere

P. \( 4\pi\epsilon a \)   Q. \( \epsilon A/d \)   R. \( 2\pi\epsilon/\ln(b/a) \) per unit length

  • A.1-Q, 2-R, 3-P
  • B.1-R, 2-Q, 3-P
  • C.1-Q, 2-P, 3-R
  • D.1-P, 2-R, 3-Q

Answer: A

The three formulae correspond to the three symmetries and to the three ways the field falls off with distance. Recognising which geometry a problem presents settles which expression to reach for, and each may be derived in a line from the appropriate Gaussian surface.
