The plates of a capacitor are of conical shapes and are defined by the surfaces 0 = 27° and 9 = 66°. The slant height of both conical plates is 2.5 m, which also appears to be the radius r in spherical coordinates. If the plates 0 = 27° and 0 = 66° are at potentials -10 V and 5 V, respectively, determine the capacitance of the said capacitor. Assume the relative permittivity of the dielectric used in the capacitor to be 3.6.
