Solution (a)

C = 4 π ε_{0} R

= (\frac{1}{9 \times 1 0 ^{9}}) (2)

= 2.2 \times 1 0^{- 10} F

(b) Maximum electric field on the surface of spherical conductor is

E = \frac{1}{4 π ε _{0}} \frac{q}{R ^{2}}

This should not exceed

1 0^{6} N / C

∴ E_{m a x} = \frac{1}{4 π ε _{0}} \frac{q _{m a x}}{R ^{2}} = 1 0^{6}

\Rightarrow q_{m a x} = (4 π ε_{0}) R^{2} (1 0^{6})

= (\frac{1}{9 \times 1 0 ^{9}}) (2)^{2} (1 0^{6})

= 4.4 \times 1 0^{- 4} C
