$A$ cylindrical capacitor has inner and outer conductors whose radii are in the ratio $10:1$. The inner conductor is replaced by a wire whose radius is half of the original inner conductor. To obtain the same capacitance as the original capacitor,by what ratio should the length of the wire be increased?

    $0.6$
  • B
    $1.43$
  • C
    $2.3$
