Question
What is the capacitance of a drop that results when twomercury spheres, each of radius $R=2.00 \mathrm{mm},$ merge?
Step 1
This gives us the volume of the combined sphere as twice the volume of one of the original spheres. Mathematically, this can be represented as: \[V = 2 \times \left(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\right)\] Show more…
