Final answer:
The equivalent capacitance of the system is calculated using the formula 1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2, where C1 and C2 are the capacitances of the individual conductors. The capacitance of a spherical conductor can be calculated using the formula C = 4πε0(εr)R, where ε0 is the permittivity of free space, εr is the relative permittivity of the material, and R is the radius of the conductor.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equivalent capacitance of the system consisting of two spherical conductors, A1 and A2, connected by a copper wire in air can be calculated using the formula:
1/Ceq = 1/C1 + 1/C2
Where C1 and C2 are the capacitances of the individual spherical conductors A1 and A2, respectively.
The capacitance of a spherical conductor can be calculated using the formula:
C = 4πε0(εr)R
Where ε0 is the permittivity of free space (8.85 x 10^-12 F/m), εr is the relative permittivity of the material between the conductors (in this case, air), and R is the radius of the conductor.
Using these formulas, you can calculate the capacitance of each conductor and then use the first formula to find the equivalent capacitance of the system.
