Question
Two conductor are embedded in a material of conductivity σ and dielectric constant . The resistance between the two conductors is measured to be R. The capacitance between two conductors is :
Solution
The capacitance (C) between two conductors can be calculated using the formula:
C = εA/d
where:
- ε is the permittivity of the material (which is the product of the dielectric constant (κ) and the permittivity of free space (ε0)),
- A is the area of one of the conductors,
- d is the distance between the conductors.
However, from the given information, we don't have the values for A and d. We also don't have enough information to calculate the capacitance using the resistance (R) and conductivity (σ).
So, without additional information, we can't calculate the capacitance between the two conductors.

Let us be two cylindrical conductors connected in parallel, to which a potential difference of V = 170V is applied. The two conductors are made of the same material, but the first is 6 times the length of the second, and 1/5 the radius of the second. The resistance of the second is R2 = 469Ω.
