A segment of the cylindrical capacitor is defined by ρ₁ < ρ < ρ₂, 0 < φ < α. If V(φ = 0) = 0 and V(φ = α) = y, show that the capacitance of the segment is C = (2πεL) / ln(ρ₂ / ρ₁), where L is the length and ε is the permittivity of the dielectric.

Calculate the capacity C of a spherical capacitor of inner radius R1 and outer radius R2, which is filled with a dielectric varying as: ε = ε0 + ε1cos^2θ, Where θ is the polar angle.

The inner cylinder of a long, cylindrical capacitor has radius $r_{a}$ and linear charge density $+\lambda .$ It is surrounded by a coaxial cylindrical conducting shell with inner radius $r_{b}$ and linear charge density $-\lambda$ (see Fig. 24.6). (a) What is the energy density in the region between the conductors at a distance $r$ from the axis? (b) Integrate the energy density calculated in part (a) over the volume between the conductors in a length $L$ of the capacitor to obtain the total electric-field energy per unit length. (c) Use Eq. (24.9) and the capacitance per unit length calculated in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1 ) to calculate $U / L$. Does your result agree with that obtained in part (b)?
A spherical capacitor consists of two concentric spherical conductors, held in position by suitable insulating supports (Fig. 2.36). Show that the capacitance of a spherical capacitor is given by $C=\frac{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r_{1} r_{2}}{r_{1}-r_{2}}$ where $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ are the radii of outer and inner spheres, respectively.
