Electric Potential & Equipotentials

' $n$ ' small spherical drops of the same size which are charged to 'V' volt each coalesce to form a single big drop. The potential of a big drop is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

Charge is conserved: $Q = nq$ ; volume is conserved: $\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = n\cdot\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \Rightarrow R = n^{1/3}r$
$V' = \frac{kQ}{R} = \frac{knq}{n^{1/3}r} = n^{2/3}V$
So the answer is (d) $n^{2/3}V$ .
