Calculations based on Cylindrical capacitor

Cylindrical capacitor

 For a cylindrical geometry like a coaxial cable, the capacitance is usually stated as a capacitance per unit length.The charge resides on the outer surface of the inner conductor and the inner wall of the outer conductor.

 It depends on the inner and outer radius.

Capacitance per unit length = 2 * π * (relative permittivity) * (permittivity of space) /Logarithm (outer radius / inner radius )

The equation is:

C =2 π k ϵ /Log(ro/ri)

Where:

C=Capacitance

ri=inner radius

ro= outer radius

k=relative permittivity

ϵ= permittivity of space

lets consider r= inner radius , R = outer radius , x = value of permitivity of space, k=relative permitivity
