You are working with a team designing capacitors for specialized purposes. One client needs a capacitor shaped like a sphere that can store the most energy for its size. You are to begin the design process by performing calculations for a simple spherical capacitor consisting of two thin concentric spherical shells separated by a dielectric. You decide to calculate the maximum energy that can be stored in terms of the radius of the outer shell and the maximum electric field that the dielectric can withstand before breaking down.
After you have derived a symbolic answer, get an idea of how much energy this is by finding a numerical answer for a capacitor with an outer shell that has a radius of 5 cm (about the size of a softball), filled with a dielectric with a breakdown voltage of 150 x 106 V/m and a dielectric constant of 3.
(a) Give a purely symbolic answer to the problem in terms of (only) the quantities given in the problem and known constants. Be sure to define each of the symbols you use.
(b) Give a numerical answer to the problem.

Consider a “system with two lenses in tandem”. Suppose that you have an object that is located P1to the left of a lens with F1 focal length. Then suppose that you have a second lens with F2 focal length, and you place this lens D downstream of the first lens. Let us say that the final image of the optical system forms Q2 past the second lens. The two lenses are one after another, or in tandem.
(a) Draw a picture of the optical system. Draw the picture to scale.
(b) Calculate the image distance (from first lens to the intermediate image) of the intermediate image, as measured from the first lens. Q1 in terms of P1, F1, and nothing else.
(c)Calculate the object distance (from intermediate image to the second lens) for the second lens. P2 in terms of D, P1, F1, and nothing else
(d) Calculate the final image distance (from second lens to the final image) for the second lens (Q2) , and show that this expression for Q2 satisfies the relation:
Q2 =F2(DP1-F1D-F1P1)/[(F1-P1)(F2-D)-F1P1] Equation 1
(e) Show also that the overall magnification of the system is M=(Q1Q2)/(P1P2)=F(F2-Q2)/[F2(F1-P1)] Equation 2
