Explanation:

A spherical capacitor, with inner radius of a = 1.2 cm and outer radius  

of b = 1.7 cm is filled with a dielectric material with dielectric constant of  

K = 27 and connected to a potential difference of V = 64.5 V.  

(a) The capacitance of a filled air spherical capacitor is given by equation :

                C = 4*π*∈o*(a*b/b-a)

if the capacitor is filled with a material with dielectric constant K, we need  

to modify the capacitance as ∈o >k∈o , thus:  

                C = 4*π*∈o*(a*b/b-a)

substitute with the given values to get:  

    C = 4*π*(27)*(8.84*10^-12)[(1.2*10^-2)*(1.7*10^-2)/(1.7*10^-2)-(1.2*10^-2)*]

    C = 1.065 * 10^-10 F

(b) The charge on the capacitor is given by q = CV, substitute to get:

   q = (1.065 * 10^-10)*64.5 V

      = 7.775 * 10^-9

(c) The induced charge on the dielectric material is given by equation as:  

   q' = q(1-1/k)

  substitute with the given values to get:

    q' = (7.775 * 10^-9)*(1-1/27)

        = 7.444 * 10^-9 C
