Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A
To find the capacity of a spherical conductor, we use the formula for the capacitance of a spherical capacitor, which is given by:
C = 4 \pi \epsilon_0 R, where R is the radius of the sphere and \epsilon_0 is the permittivity of free space.
Therefore, since the capacity depends on the sphere's radius, we look for the option that represents this formula correctly. The correct option represents this formula as shown in Option A.
Therefore, A.
