The insulation property of air breaks down at E=3×106 volts / metre.  The maximum charge that can be given to a sphere of diameter 5 m is approximately

a
2×10-2 coulomb
b
2×10-3 coulomb
c
2×10-4 coulomb
d
2×10-5 coulomb

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Electric Intensity =14π∈0×qr2​ or qmax=r2E9×109=19×109×2.5×2.5×3×106​ or qmax=2×10−3 coulomb
