capacitors quick doubt
I have a lil doubt in capacitors - spherical capacitors specifically. If the outer spherical conductor is not grounded, do we have to solve for it by taking two capacitors? I'm talking bout solvin for the effective capacitance.
By taking two capacitors I mean considering 2 capacitors, one is the spherical one with capacitance 4pie0ba/(b-a) and the other is an isolated spherical capacitor from the outer one to infinity, i.e., 4pie0b... And them both in parallel.
I'm guessing so because some charge will develop on the outer sphere which won't cancel out.
If this is not correct, then could you please explain how the field outside cancels out?

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.b- radius of larger sphere, a - radius of smaller sphere
It's a tough one let me get some and think about it
yep this is correct ig
ill share some problems with u
ull get the idea
oh, thanks a lot @hardcoreisdead
really appreciate it
no problem
+solved @hardcoreisdead
