Capacitance of a single straight wire - Physics Stack Exchange

Asked on Jun 12, 2020
1 Answer

Question Top Answer

Using Gauss's law, you should have found that the field strength (radial) at distance

r

from the central axis of a long straight wire of length

\ell

and radius

r_1

carrying charge

Q

is of magnitude

E= \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \ell r}

So the pd between the surface of the wire (of radius

r_1

) and a surrounding co-axial conducting surface of radius

r_2

V=\int_{r_1} ^{r_2} \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \ell r}dr=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \ell} \ln \frac{r_2}{r_1}

The capacitance is therefore

C=\frac QV=\frac{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \ell}{\ln \frac{r_2}{r_1}}

So, not surprisingly, the capacitance is proportional to the length of the wire.

More interestingly, the capacitance goes to zero as we make the surrounding conducting surface larger and larger (

r_2>>r_1

). In other words, an isolated conducting wire would have zero capacitance. In practice there will be objects at various distances from the wire, and the charged wire will induce charges on these objects, so the system's capacitance, though hard to calculate, will not actually be zero (when it can be defined at all).

Hope this helps.

Capacitance is the capability of a material object or device to store electric charge. It is measured by the change in charge in response to a difference in electric potential, expressed as the ratio of those quantities. Commonly recognized are two closely related notions of capacitance: self capacitance and mutual capacitance.[1]: 237–238 An object that…
