In your hand, you currently have a spherical capacitor with a separation distance of d = 5.00 [mm] (outer radius T = 10 [mm] and inner radius ra = 5 [mm]). However, you wanted a cylindrical one instead since, personally, a spherical capacitor looks strange to you. You decided to create a cylindrical capacitor with the same separation distance of 5.00 [mm]. What should be the length, L, of your cylindrical capacitor if you wanted an equal amount of capacitance? O A. 13.9 [mm] O B. 6.91 [mm] OC. 3.47 [mm] n D 2771
