Answer: a) 73.41 10^-12 F; b)4.83* 10^3 N/C; c) 3.66 *10^3 N/C
Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the following: The Capacity= Charge/Potential Difference
As we know the capacity is value that depend on the geometry of the capacitor, in our case two concentric spheres.
So Potential Difference between the spheres is given by:
ΔV=-
Where E = k*Q/ r^2
so we have
then
Vb-Va=k*Q(1/b-1/a)=kQ (ab/b-a)
Finally using C=Q/ΔV=ab/(k(b-a))
To caclulate the electric firld we first obtain the charge
Q=ΔV*C=120 V*73.41 10^-12 F=8.8 10^-9 C
so E=KQ/r^2 for both values of r
r=12.8 cm ( in meters)
r2=14.7 cm
E(r1)=4.83* 10^3 N/C
E(r2)=3.66 *10^3 N/C
