As we learnt in 

Capacity of an Isolated Spherical Conductor -

C= 4\pi \epsilon _{0}R=\frac{1}{9\times 10^{9}}R

- wherein

 

 The energy stored in the electricity field produced by a metal sphere =4.5 J

4.5 = \frac{Q^{2}}{2C} \, \, \Rightarrow C = \frac{Q^{2}}{2\times 4.5}\, \, \, \, -(i)

Capicitance of spherical capacitor

C= 4\pi E_{_{0}}R=\frac{Q^{2}}{9}

R= \frac{1}{4\pi E_{0}}\times \frac{(4\times 10^{-6})^{2}}{9}= 9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{16}{9}\times 10^{12}

R= 16 \times 10^{-3}\, \, \, \, \, \Rightarrow R=16mm
