A capacitor consists of two concentric spherical shells. The outer radius of the inner shell is a = 0.1 m and the inner radius of the outer shell is b = 0.2 m. a. What is the capacitance, C, of this capacitor? b. Suppose the maximum possible electric field at the outer surface of the inner shell before the air starts to ionize E max(r=a) = 3.0*10^6 V/m . What is the maximum possible charge on the inner capacitor? c. What is the maximum amount of energy stored in this capacitor? d. When E (r=a) = 3.0*10^6 V/m, what is the potential difference between the shells?
