the capacitance of earth is infinity if we take charge =Q/V
if we take it as a sphere then capacitance = 4pie e r
then it comes out to be 711micro farad
how can this be possible

actualy the capacitance of earth is not infinity but the value 711micro farad is a very big quantity of capacitance this potential of earth changes very slightly when we give chage to it that"s why we say that earth"s capacitance is infinity

jesus
711/1000000
is not at all a big value i guess
and earth remains at 0 potential and" does not change if we give it charge"

it is big value anyway who is jezus here? no earth"s potential will change if it get some charge

if u use the formula:

C=   A 0   
       d 

you can see how big it is(in the sense how much area is required)

here's a live img of the sun:

well this formula is invalid for earth bcoz earth is not a parllel plate capacitor

are u sure that the potential will change if yes then every time a thunderstuck there will be some charege stored inside the conducter and till now eareth would become full of charge then it would be better to connect our aplliances to earth and save money

ya i am sure but the change is so less that it has no use like .001V

Hi,
 
I am sorry, but i have a doubt !!!
Earth consists mostly of metals. And we know that, for metal objects, capacitance is infinity.
Capacitance = 4*r
This formula is for those spheres, which are made of insulating things.
 

My birthday is no ordinary day.

Its the day when i declared in my own voice,

I WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT,
I WILL NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT,
I AM GOING TO LIVE ON,
I AM GOING TO SURVIVE,
I AM GOING TO GET WHATEVER I WANT.

I CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY, AS MY INDEPENDENCE DAY !!!!!!!!!

pls what are u talking about the potential changes is going above my head pls go in detail

EARTH AS A SPHERICAL CAPACITOR:

Approximate the Earth as a spherical shell with some excess charge ?Q surrounded by another spherical shell with and equal but opposite charge +Q.
Voltage drop between two charged spherical shells:
Spherical Capacitance........:
Earth:
Let R1 = 6,378 km, the radius of the Earth.
Let R2 approach infinity, or simply let R2 >> R1, then
