The discussion focuses on calculating the capacitance between two points on three concentric shells with radii a, b, and c. The user suggests treating the system as two capacitors in series: one between shells a and b, and the other between shells b and c. Additionally, there is a request for a more fundamental approach using the definition of capacitance, C = Q/V. The thread was ultimately closed due to forum rules regarding schoolwork-type problems.
PREREQUISITESStudents in physics or electrical engineering, educators teaching electrostatics, and anyone interested in understanding capacitance in complex geometries.
I would love to get a hint to do it any other way. Something that is more basic, like by using just the starting definition of C=Q/ V.hutchphd said:
You've been at PF long enough to know that any schoolwork-type problem like this needs to be posted in the Schoolwork forums, and you need to show your best efforts to work on the problem. This thread is now closed. Please re-post in the Schoolwork forums. Thank you.Kashmir said:
