Question related to Van de Graff generator to calculate the effective capacitance of the spherical electrode.
a.) Assume that the diameter of the electrode is 1.5 m. It is placed in the center of a room that have walls covered with grounded netting. Assume the room to be a sphere of 10 m radius, compute the capacitance of electrode.
b.) If the electrode is raised to a potential of 5 x 10^6 V above ground, compute charge in coulombs and energy stored in joules.
c.) If this energy, could be released uniformly to light a 10-W light bulb at normal incandescence, how long will the bulb be alight
