Hi all,
correct me if I am wrong, but is not an isotropic capacity a mono-pole
capacitor. If you charge a metal sphere the lines of electric flux extending
outwards to infinity, effectively acting as a bi-polar capacitor. I think it
is 0.55 cm diameter sphere is equal to 1pF. This type of capacitor is used
on tesla coils, the sphere on top of the secondary winding acts as the
capacity of the resonant circuit.
