The diameter of each plate of an air capacitor is $4\,cm$. To make the capacity of this parallel plate capacitor equal to that of a sphere of diameter $20\,cm$,the distance between the plates will be:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-3}\,m$
  • B
    $1 \times 10^{-3}\,m$
  • C
    $1\,cm$
  • D
    $1 \times 10^{-3}\,cm$
