Question

# Two hollow metal spheres are concentric with each other. Theinner sphere has a radius of 0.131 m and a potential of 89.6 V. Theradius of the outer sphere is 0.155 m and its potential is 78.3 V.If the region between the spheres is filled with Teflon, find theelectric energy contained in this space.

Electric Energy stored in the sphere $$\displaystyle{E}={\left({\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}\right)}{C}{V}^{{2}}$$
where $$\displaystyle{C}={4}\pi\epsilon_{{0}}{r}$$
for this problem for the first sphere $$\displaystyle{E}_{{1}}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}{C}_{{1}}{{V}_{{1}}^{{2}}}$$
$$\displaystyle{C}_{{1}}={4}\pi\epsilon_{{0}}{r}_{{1}}$$
$$\displaystyle{E}_{{1}}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}{4}\pi\epsilon_{{0}}{\left({0.131}{m}\right)}{\left({89.6}{V}\right)}^{{2}}$$
$$\displaystyle={\left({0.5}\right)}{\left({4}\cdot{3.14}\cdot{8.85}\cdot{10}^{{-{12}}}\right)}{\left({0.131}{m}\right)}{\left({89.6}{V}\right)}^{{2}}$$
for this problem forthe second sphere $$\displaystyle{E}_{{2}}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}{C}_{{2}}{{V}_{{2}}^{{2}}}$$
$$\displaystyle{C}_{{2}}={4}\pi\epsilon_{{0}}{r}^{{2}}$$
$$\displaystyle{E}_{{2}}={\frac{{{1}}}{{{2}}}}{\left({4}\pi\epsilon_{{0}}\right)}{\left({0.155}{m}\right)}{\left({89.6}{V}\right)}^{{2}}$$
$$\displaystyle={\left({0.5}\right)}{\left({4}\cdot{3.14}\cdot{8.85}\cdot{10}^{{-{12}}}\right)}{\left({0.155}{m}\right)}{\left({78.3}{V}\right)}^{{2}}$$
the electric energy contained in this space E=E1-E2
