 Today’s Goal

Combination of Capacitors
 Spherical Capacitor
➢ A spherical capacitor consists of two concentric
spherical conducting shells.

➢The outer shell is Earthed and the inner shell is given

a charge ‘+Q’.
 Cylindrical Capacitors
➢ A cylindrical capacitor consists of two coaxial long
cylinders.

➢The outer one is Earthed and the inner one is given a

charge +Q.
